Quote by the head of the laboratory: There is great interest in Russian mega-grants from abroad and it is constantly growing. Over a relatively short period of time of implementation of the program it has already become well-known in Europe. Growth of the number of European colleagues ready to act as leading scientists – supervisors of mega-grants is obviously growing.
