The document discusses the Russian National Contact Point on food, agriculture, fisheries, forestry and biotechnology (Bio-NCP of Russia). It provides an overview of the Bio-NCP of Russia, which was established in 2003 to promote Russian science integration into the European Research Area. The Bio-NCP of Russia aims to increase Russian participation in the European Commission's Framework Programme 7 on bio priorities. It also works to structure the Russian research and development community and increase capacity building. The document outlines Russian national priorities in science and technology areas and discusses European technology platforms and how they relate to the formation of Russian technology platforms. It provides examples of projects with Russian participation in FP6 and FP7 on topics relevant to environmental protection
