Principles and Legal Forms of Cooperation in Science, Technology and Innovation between Russia and the EU Countries

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of mutual relations between Russia and the EU countries in the sphere of science, technology and innovation. It focuses on the analysis of principles and forms of cooperation taking into account their evolution and assimilation of the previous experience of the Soviet Union in the implementation of international scientific and technical cooperation (STC) with States of different levels of economic development. The presence of analogues or the same forms that were previously known in interstate relations in the affected area is now revealed. Thus, the combination of contractual and institutional instruments for the implementation of international relations concerning scientific and technical cooperation remains important. At the same time, there are also new means generated by the need to improve the registration of contractual relations in the field of STC and adjustment of the legal regulation in this part to the realities of life.
