The Network's Executive Director, Claire Ruskin, comments: “Global challenges like the environment and affordable healthcare merit international collaboration. Skolkovo is full of extremely talented and well-educated engineers and scientists with a very similar outlook to ours. We can encourage ‘excellence’ to cooperate all around the world, quickly and with open minds.
"I have been in Russia building on a relationship with the community here, and believe that working together more will support projects we all care about.”
The relationship with Skolkovo’s Chair, Mr Arkady Dvorkovich, started through mutual contacts with AstraZeneca, and AstraZeneca's CEO Pascal Soriot was delighted to announce the agreement at the Foreign Investment Advisory Council (FIAC) in Moscow yesterday (Monday).
