The Institute conducts research in cooperation with key scientific organizations in Russia.

Since the early 1990s, RFNC - VNIIEF has been closely involved in the international science and technology interactions subject to the existing government and agency-level regulations. This offers an opportunity to perform research projects and advance high technologies for the Russian and international markets, where the Institute's personnel can integrate into the international science and technology community.

The Institute is participating in the international collaboration programs with research organizations in the US, Europe and Asia.
