6 September 2017 Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica (Taiwan), represented by Director Sun-Lin Chung, International Research Center – Geodynamic Proving Ground in Bishkek (IRC-GPG) represented by Depute Director, Gennady G. Schelochkov, Research Station of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RS RAS) represented by Director, Anatoly K. Rybin concluded the Agreement about scientific and technical collaboration.

The purpose of this Agreement is to provide scientific and technical interaction of Sides during conducting collaborative research of geodynamic processes, organizing and conducting field works, and enhancing the efficiency of processing and interpretation of geological materials related to the problems of modern geodynamic activities of lithosphere in orogenic regions and data exchange.

The Agreement will promote the development of scientific relations between its participants during solving fundamental problems of modern geodynamics of different segments of Central Asian continental lithosphere, and topical applied problems of assessing the degree of tectonic activity of orogenic territories and adjacent areas.
