We are faced with the task of contributing to the maximum self-sufficiency of the Union by combining the efforts of all states. It is necessary to use the mechanisms of motivating the business community to create joint companies to stimulate exports and rational reduction of imports Mikhail Myasnikovich said.The Chairman of the EEC Board proposed to use science and its internationality to create a kind of cementing centers of Eurasian integration and popularize the idea of Eurasian cooperation through science making the EAEU an attractive integration association.We consider it expedient to develop a draft international agreement on scientific and technical cooperation within the EAEU which can become a real economic instrument.

EEC Minister for Industry and Agroindustrial Complex member of the NTS Presidium Artak Kamalyan proposed to create an educational platform in the field of academic mobility.This will provide an opportunity for students from the countries of the Union to study at leading universities with the strongest specialization and will also contribute to the popularization of the Union itself. As one of the tools for the development of academic mobility I believe it is important to consider the possibility of creating an appropriate Eurasian Fund Artak Kamalyan emphasized.Minister for Internal Markets Informatization and Information and Communication Technologies of the EEC member of the NTS Presidium Gegham Vardanyan noted the importance of resolving the issue of data circulation within the EAEU.I believe that one of the incentives for the integration association could be an agreement on data circulation as well as the use of regulatory sandboxes. Removing the excessive regulatory burden from the integration processes in the ICT sphere is one of the keys to accelerating digitalization Gegham Vardanyan said.The meeting participants expressed their proposals on cooperation in the field of science in the EAEU countries. In particular the initiative to develop an international treaty on scientific and technical cooperation in the EAEU was unanimously supported.There have already been attempts in our countries to establish scientific and technical cooperation but this did not give any result because a mechanism for the integration of scientific organizations was not developed.
