Dear Mr.D.Parsons!
In this letter i send you the information about Nizhny Novgorod
Centre of Medical Investigations (NCMI).  I hope it'll be interesting
and may be useful for you. If it's right answer me please .
The NCMI have some medicalI achievements and they want to use them not
only in treatment but in business too. Therefor NCMI looks forward
to cooperation with foreign partners.
I intend to send that information in different medical groups of USENET
and try to find medical and commercial foreign partners for NCMI.
Please help me with your adwice if possible.

Sincerely yours Ludmila Perevezenceva.




                  COMMERCIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL MOTIVES OF NNCMI
                                 ESTABLISHMENT

The fact that most of the research findings received during the stagnation
 period were far from being implemented into practice or put into industrial
 production,resulted in a great amount of written research(often
 pseudoscientific) papers or reports known in Russia as 'dessertation material"
 - on the one hand and on the other - happened to have created a great
 scientific potential. Since its commercial application seemed to be somewhat
 vague and too distant it couldnot be financed from the West. even nowa

d
ys this "potential" appears to be  "a dead capital" of "queer representatives"
 of Russian science.
     The attempts made by foreign campanies to acquire this scientific potential
 failed to give positive results due to the following main reasons:
  1 -the share of priority developments in the ocean of Soviet pseudoscientific
 rigmarole was too small to be easily fished out during too short visits of
 foreign businessmen.
  2 - the current legal conditions regulating the operation activity of foreign
 campanies as well as the commercial qualification of their Russian partners
 differed much from the ones the foreign campanies are used to.
  3 - the lack of experience of Russian researchers in dealing with commercial
 structures and a low level of research developments to meet the demands of
 commercial protection failed to find the way to foreign commercial firms.

The above mentioned facts make us realize the necessity of a long-term joint
 work of Russian researchers and entrepreneurs to prepare commercially and bring
 this potential to life. To organize and carry on an operation like that  will
 need significant financing. Due to the initiative of N.Novgorod Medical
 Institute Administration and  researchers N.Novgorod Centre of Medical
 Investigati9ons was founded as an attempt to join the efforts of researchers
 and businessmen.
