Russia actively participates in international mega-science projects in different countries. Russian scientists and equipment can be found in many largest scientific projects in the world, such as CERN located in Switzerland or Italy’s Borexino. Today Russia is aimed to development its own top-class research facilities: 625 million rubles will be allocated on the national project „Science“. For instance the funding will be submitted to the Pacific Quantum Center, which is to be created on the basis of the Far Eastern Federal University. FEFU will receive money for the creation of a physics center as a grant, which they won in scientific activity of the Ministry of Education and Science. Funding of 36 million rubles per year is to be provided until 2023. In addition to specialists from Vladivostok, scientists from Russia, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region will be invited to cooperate. Center staff will be able to use unique equipment and for research using high-performance computing, machine learning, and digital twins. They will be able to use the FEFU supercomputer. For this, the power of its calculations – 26 teraflops (One teraflop – a trillion operations per second) – will be tripled.
