Ministrstvo za znanost in tehnologijo Republike Slovenije in Ministrstvo za znanost in tehnološko politiko Ruske federacije (v nadaljnjem besedilu: pogodbenici) sta se,
ker se zavedata tako prednosti, ki izhajajo iz povečanega znanstvenega in tehnološkega sodelovanja, kakor tudi pomena le-tega za razvoj nacionalnih gospodarstev in dobro obeh držav, in v prepričanju, da bo mednarodno sodelovanje v znanosti in tehnologiji okrepilo prijateljske vezi in razumevanje med državama,
dogovorili o naslednjem:

Pogodbenici bosta podpirali znanstveno in tehnološko sodelovanje med sodelujočimi organizacijami obeh držav na podlagi načel enakosti, suverenosti in v obojestransko korist.

Sodelovanje v okviru tega sporazuma poteka v skladu z veljavnimi zakoni in predpisi obeh držav.

Po tem sporazumu bo znanstveno in tehnološko sodelovanje potekalo v okviru:
– znanstvenih in tehnoloških raziskav na skupaj dogovorjenih področjih;
– izmenjav znanstvenikov in strokovnjakov;
– izmenjav znanstvenih in tehnoloških informacij in dokumentacije;
– izmenjav ali začasne uporabe opreme, instrumentov in materiala, ki so potrebni za izvajanje tega sporazuma;
– prirejanje skupnih znanstvenih in tehnoloških konferenc, simpozijev in seminarjev;
– drugih oblik znanstvenega in tehnološkega sodelovanja, o katerih se pogodbenici medsebojno dogovorita.

Pogodbenici bosta v največji možni meri spodbujali in podpirali razvoj sodelovanja, neposredne stike in izmenjavo tehnologij med slovenskimi in ruskimi znanstveno-raziskovalnimi inštituti, znanstvenimi združenji, univerzami in drugimi organizacijami.
Sodelujoče organizacije v okviru tega sporazuma sklenejo pogodbe, sporazume ali dogovore o sodelovanju, ki opredeljujejo tematiko, postopke, financiranje in druga vprašanja v okviru sodelovanja.

Pogodbenici bosta spodbujali in podpirali udeležbo v sodelovanju pri mednarodnih znanstvenih, tehnoloških in razvojnih programih in projektih.

Pogodbenici bosta v skladu s svojo zakonodajo in normami ter v skladu z določili mednarodnih sporazumov, katerih članici sta pogodbenici, zagotavljali ustrezno in učinkovito varstvo in delitev pravic intelektualne lastnine, nastale kot rezultat skupnega dela na osnovi tega sporazuma.

Če bo potrebno, bodo sklenjeni posebni sporazumi s točnimi določili o varstvu intelektualne lastnine.
Pogodbenici bosta zagotavljali tajnost znanstvenih in tehnoloških informacij. Če bo potrebno, bodo na razpolago tretji strani, če ne bo drugače pisno dogovorjeno med sodelujočimi organizacijami.

V okviru mešane komisije se bosta pogodbenici posvetovali o vprašanjih nacionalne znanstvene, tehnološke, ekonomske in pravne ureditve na tem področju, o oblikovanju državnih prioritet znanstveno-tehnološkega razvoja in usklajevali bilateralno sodelovanje na področju znanosti in tehnologije.
Mešana komisija lahko po potrebi ustanovi stalne ali začasne delovne skupine za določena področja znanstveno-tehnološkega sodelovanja in povabi k sodelovanju tudi izvedence.
Srečanja mešane komisije so praviloma enkrat letno, izmenično v Republiki Sloveniji in Ruski federaciji.
