At previous meetings and negotiations, we discussed the possibility of opening a number of joint laboratories and interdisciplinary research centers to develop mechanisms for solving various problems that threaten modern society. The first step in this direction was the opening of the “Chinese Research Center”, which is a joint activity of representatives of Xi’an Jiaotong University and Samara State University. I believe that the creation of such a joint interdisciplinary center will unite scientists from the two countries and will allow us to invite leading specialists from other countries to cooperate in the future. In turn, we are ready to adopt and adapt to our conditions the experience of promising research from world universities in this direction, as well as introduce and promote such successful developments in neighboring countries of the region.
