the presence of the Russian Minister of Education and Science, Dmitry Livanov, and the European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and
Science, Máire Geoghegan-Quinn. The Year of Science marked a new stage of cooperation and coincided with the parallel start of the new EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 and the new Russian Federal Targeted Programme “Research & Development in
Priority Areas of Development of the Russian Scientific & Technological Complex 2014-2020”.
The purpose of the Year of Science was to showcase the multifaceted nature of cooperation between Russia and Europe in science, technology,
higher education and innovation, to accentuate past achievements and to point towards future collaboration opportunities.
With more than 150 joint EU-Russia events having taken place all over Europe and Russia throughout the year, the Year of Science
has succeeded to highlight the diversity and richness of links in research, innovation and higher education between the EU, its Member States and
the Russian Federation.
