Digital spaces and bi-regional interaction within the paradigm of scientific cooperation

Abstract

© International Research Publication House Scientific cooperation takes an increasing place in the problems of international law, which is quite understandable in the context of the ever-increasing interdependence of modern states. The expectations of the international community associated with scientific discoveries pose new challenges in the field of legal regulation of relations on cooperation between states in this area. The solution of these problems affects such issues as the determination of the legal status of information spaces, intellectual property, and the regulation of regional and interregional relations. This paper examines the legal aspects of international cooperation in order to prevent and overcome threats to life and health of people by expanding the geography of scientific exchanges and obtaining timely access to the results obtained from all stakeholders. The digitalization of the regional scientific space and the use of digital resources for the creation of innovative products and interregional information exchange are presented as a necessary condition for the implementation of international cooperation in this area. The necessity of improving international legal regulation in the field of intellectual property protection based on the provisions of TRIPS (WTO) on assistance in the provision of medicines by concluding an agreement on an international patent for medical products for global emergencies has been substantiated. It is proposed to focus on the establishment of interregional cooperation in the field of scientific research using the model of the regional scientific space.
