GENERAL INTRODUCTION

1.1 THE CEC/CIS CHERNOBYL COUABORATWE PROGRAMME

Objectives

The projects are implemented by formation of groups from the CIS and the CEC. 
They are realised as partnerships between Eastern and Western research 
institutions and hospitals.
The aims are to increase the possibilities for training of CIS scientists; provide 
financial support to CIS institutes for allocating staff to the joint projects; 
introduce new technology and train medical specialists; improve the local 
infrastructure and create a regional research facility in each of the three republics 
Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. Thus, the budget of this programme includes local 
assistance, equipment  and training for the CIS.
The overall objective of the joint programme is to complement and assist those in 
the three republics responsible for evaluating and mitigating the consequences of the 
accident. This will also allow the scientists to gain an improved understanding and 
knowledge of the health and environmental impact of radioactive contamination and 
of how it can be reduced; this will be invaluable for the management of any future 
accident.
