As long as the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) existed (1949-1991), the so-called Scientific-Technical Cooperation (STC), coordinated within its framework, represented an important aspect of the multilateral cooperation of its up to ten member states. However, until today, this STC has found hardly historiographical interest. The proposed project aims to change this. With a paradigmatic view on the GDR as well as on CMEA’s Moscow-based secretariat and multilateral working bodies the project will exemplarily analyse the STC in the fields of agriculture and forestry as well as in environmental protection. It will focus on the 1970s and 1980s when the STC expanded significantly in terms of institutions and personnel. By investigating the relevance the STC had for participating experts, states and the CMEA in political, economic and scientific regards the applicant hopes to contribute to three more general historiographic debates. First, the project promises to yield new insights into the international research collaboration of socialist states within and beyond the so-called ‘Soviet bloc’s’ borders. Second, it will explore the room for manoeuvre a socialist international organisation could develop and it will assess to what extent CMEA and its STC activities contributed to the coherence of the socialist camp. Third, the project aims to broaden and differentiate recent debates about the role socialist countries played in European and global history of the 1970s and 1980s.The applicant of this project is supposed to work on sub-project 1. From the perspective of the GDR he will analyse the contents, forms, institutions and actors of the STC and ask for the motives of governments and scientists to engage in this form of cooperation. Also, he will assess its economic, scientific and political relevance for participating countries and individuals. A doctoral student, to be hired with funds from the project, is supposed to work on sub-project 2. Its aim is to evaluate the role CMEA’s Moscow-based secretariat and multilateral working bodies played in the shaping and development of the STC.

只要经济互助理事会存在（1949-1991年），在其框架内协调的所谓科学技术合作（STC）就代表了其多达10个成员国的多边合作的一个重要方面。然而，直到今天，这个STC几乎没有发现史学的兴趣。该项目旨在改变这一点。该项目将以德意志民主共和国以及经互会设在莫斯科的秘书处和多边工作机构为范例，分析科学技术委员会在农业和林业以及环境保护领域的工作。它将侧重于1970年代和1980年代，当时科技委在机构和人员方面有了显著的扩大。通过调查STC在政治、经济和科学方面与与会专家、国家和经互会的相关性，申请人希望有助于三个更一般的史学辩论。首先，该项目有望为社会主义国家在所谓的“苏联集团”边界内外的国际研究合作提供新的见解。第二，它将探索一个社会主义国际组织可以发展的回旋余地，并将评估经互会及其STC活动在多大程度上促进了社会主义阵营的一致性。第三，该项目旨在拓宽和区分最近关于社会主义国家在20世纪70年代和80年代的欧洲和全球历史中所扮演的角色的辩论。他将从民主德国的角度分析科技合作的内容、形式、机构和参与者，并询问政府和科学家参与这种合作形式的动机。他还将评估其对参与国和个人的经济、科学和政治意义。一名博士生，将从该项目中获得资金，应该从事子项目2。其目的是评估经互会设在莫斯科的秘书处和多边工作机构在科技委的形成和发展中发挥的作用。
