The document has been drafted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
The project to establish the centre is in keeping with the Government’s priorities in developing science and building a national innovative system, including the formation and support of world-class national strategic R&D centres.
The centre will be established as a federal state budget institution and will exercise the powers, as founder and owner of the property, of its organisations on behalf of the Russian Federation.
The centre is expected to integrate the Professor Nikolai Zhukovsky Aero-Hydro-Dymanic Institute, the Pyotr Baranov Central Institute of Aviation Motors, the State R&D Institute of Aviation Systems, the Sergei Chaplygin Siberian R&D Institute of Aviation and the State R&D Testing Grounds of Aviation Systems.
The establishment of the centre will make it possible to unite the R&D potential of state-owned organisations of aviation science and to concentrate the resources channeled into the development and operation of aviation technology. The centre will become an instrument for managing aviation science and pooling the efforts of applied-research and academic science in this field.
The Government endorsed the draft at its meeting on 5 December 2013.
