INTRODUCTION
The President of the Russian Federation Vladimir V. Putin visited the exhibition of companies – residents of the Lomonosov cluster. Assel Akhmetova, a leading specialist of the Advanced Technologies Centre and a member of the Physical department of Moscow State University, told about probe microscopy and a possibility of seeing atoms, which interested the President – he looked closely at the laboratory work "Visualisation of the graphite atomic lattice" description. Assel Akhmetova expressed gratitude to the Moscow City Government and Lomonosov Moscow State University for their help in establishing the "Nanotechnology" Youth Innovation Creativity Centre (YICC) at the Physical department of Moscow State University. Schoolchildren and students are trained in the Nanotechnology Youth Innovation Creativity Centre and learn, in practice, how to see atoms using our own modern equipment, how to study bacteria, viruses, living cells and shoot not only beautiful pictures, but also create videos.
The Advanced Technologies Centre is developing equipment and software for probe microscopy, which enables objects to be seen at the nanometre scale, cells to be examined in their natural environment without affecting the sample, and develop sensors to detect viruses and bacteria [1, 2].
The Advanced Technology Centre was one of the first companies to receive the cluster resident status. In the cluster laboratory it is planned to organise a probe microscopy showroom, conduct educational programmes, and carry out final testing of microscopes.
The concept of the Lomonosov cluster is to create an infrastructure that facilitates the projects movement beginning from an idea and ending with implementation in a successful technology company. To this end, the cluster provides its residents with a range of services necessary for development of the high-tech projects, including startup acceleration, patent packaging of innovative knowledge-intensive solutions, and attracting venture capital investment.
The most favourable taxation and regulatory regime has been created for the residents of Science and Technology Innovation Center. Resident projects are exempt from most taxes for 10 years, including property tax, profit tax and VAT (for annual revenues of up to one billion roubles). Insurance contributions to state non-budgetary funds will be reduced to 14%, and no separate permit will be required to hire foreign specialists.
CONCLUSION
Most of the staff at the Advanced Technologies Centre are MSU graduates. MSU trains talented and enthusiastic employees, they are very motivated people coming from all over the country. In our activities, we work very closely with students, post-graduates and scientists.
Therefore, the launch of the Lomonosov cluster in close vicinity to MSU opens up plenty of opportunities to attract students and employees to work in high-tech companies and participate in the innovation agenda in the most proactive way.
