Linar Latypov, Vice Rector for International Relations, and Patrick Levi, President of Joseph Fourier University, put down their signatures in Grenoble, France.

The agreement was initiated by Prof. M. Tagirov, Head of Department of Quantum Electronics and Radiospectroscopy and Yurii Bunkov, Director of 1 Class Research at Institut Néel (Grenoble). However, the first contact was established in 1994, when Prof. Tagirov was offered a position of a visiting scholar by French Government. The Memorandum addresses cooperation and exchange in all areas of academic activity between corresponding institutes and units.
