Russia must launch scientific mega projects - Putin

DUBNA. July 5 (Interfax) - Russia has created all the conditions for implementing scientific mega projects of a global level, comparable to the space and nuclear programs that have already been implemented in the country, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said.

"I think that there are currently all the necessary conditions for beginning the work of creating scientific systems of a global level precisely here, in Russia. As specialists say, research mega-class installations," Putin told a governmental commission for high technologies and innovation in Dubna.

These installations should "match the famous Hadron collider and aim at achieving results of a Nobel level," Putin said.
