A contract between NATO and the Moscow State University for Economics, Statistics and Informatics (MESI) was signed in Moscow on 20 March 2002 for the opening of a NATO-Russia ''Information, Consultation and Training Centre''. This centre will soon be opened by the Ministry of Defence in Moscow and will deal with the resettlement of military personnel due for discharge or already discharged from the armed forces of the Russian Federation. NATO, which is funding the project, was represented at the signing ceremony by the NATO Economics Committee Chairman, Mr Patrick Hardouin.
The centre, which will be staffed of seven Russian specialists, will disseminate information throughout Russia on all aspects of social adaptation of former military personnel, including issues such as legal, financial, and housing policy. The information will be made available via the Internet and through a network of special advisors on social adaptation. The centre will train up to one hundred of these special advisors during the first year.
A Memorandum of Agreement on the establishment of the centre was signed on 6 June 2001 during the meeting of NATO Defence Ministers.
