Since 1987 there have been annual discussions and decisions taken on the essential problems of scientific and technical development of Russia and India. The mutual advantage which brings cooperation in the framework of ILTP is noticeable and indisputable.

The tendency of global development of science and high technologies implies a uniform cycle: Idea - its scientific embodiment - creation of a ready product - promotion of the product to the international market - application of the product by the end user.

This process demands continuous support by experts of various directions: scientists-researchers, programmers managers, economists, lawyers, etc.

In this aspect a problem of ILTP projects is absence of management and commercial component in presence of high-level scientists teams. Time has demanded new forms of scientific projects organization, because purely research collective cannot carry out all necessary organizational functions.

ILTP Head Officials fully realized this problem and as the answer to time demands the decision on creation of the Russian-Indian Centre for Advanced Computing Researches was accepted. RICCR has become a part of Russian Academy of Sciences, a branch of Mathematical Sciences since May 2002.

As on of its goals, the Centre considers activity on assistance of creation scientific and business links between state and commercial structures of India and Russia. RICCR plans:

• To continue work jointly by C-DAC and ICAD RAS under scientific ILTP projects, including new projects submitted for consideration of the present ILTP Session;
• To conduct active search of new partners, and also intensive work for conclusion of new contracts on scientific and technological development;
• To organize and carry out International conferences together with our Indian colleagues, and also together with them to participate in were known and prestigious International symposiums, searching for new projects;
• To promote Russian and Indian scientific and technological products on the markets of our two countries and the markets of the third countries of the world.

RICCR serves as the computer base for the Centre of Collective Use. Its users are: ICAD RAS, INM RAS, ISP RAS, IEP RAS, CC RAS, IPM RAS, IMM RAS, IPCP RAS

After Inauguration of the Centre Mr. M.M. Joshi, Minister of Science and Technology, Government of India noted:
