organizations within the framework of ASTA which differ by their structure, rythm of operation and the results obtained, poses serious problems. Successful functioning of such complexes Is possible under condition when the organizational unity of alI their I Inks is reinforced by meticulously elaborated and strictly Implemented procedures of "through" planning, financing and sti­ mulation accompanied by the provision of "capacity" conjunction ot scientific research, designing, technological and production organizations. 2. Interdepartmental target scientlflc-productloo complexes <ITSTC) These complexes which are often formed at a regional level Include scientific research Institutes. both fundamental and appl led, higher educational establishments, designing organizations and Industrial enterprises belonging to various 314 departments. Unlike the ASTA where alI the activities of the constituent organizations are planned centrally, the Interdepartmental target complexes represent a form of cooperation of Independent organlza~lons which el locate a pert of their resources for joint solution of a concrete scientific­ technological problem or execution of a target programme. Interdepartmental laboratories, set up on the basis of academic Institutes or Industrial enterprises and using common material­ technical and human resources, represent a. nucleus of ITSTC. Every organization which Intends to participate In the activities of such laboratory, renders required special lsts, monetary funds and equipment. The academic Institutes ensure scientific guidance of these labo~atorles. Through the Academy the respective departments receive financial resources and labour quotas required by the Interdepartmental laboratories. The main goal of creating the complexes consists In ensuring favourable conditions for the coordination of efforts of organizations belonging to various departments aimed at the manufacture of new produce; for Interdepartmental "through" Planning; and for translating the research results Into practice by means of efflcleht coordination of work plans of alI the participants with due attention to their Interests. Thus, the complexes ensure, -for academic Institutes : most active Introduction of the results of fundamental and applied research In production; -for scientists of higher educational establishments
