The need for expert examination arises when preparing new scientific and technical proposals in all areas of science and technology, conducting competitions of projects and programs, searching for investors and investment objects, preparing documents for grants, assessing the risk of investments, analyzing insurance cases.

Materials for examination are presented in the established form. It is enough to submit documents on a project or program outlining its contents and within the agreed period the Conclusion of the State Expert Examination will be prepared.

The conclusion contains an assessment of the scientific and technical significance and novelty of the proposal, its feasibility, the competitiveness of planned products in the world market, the adequacy of the estimated cost of work, the economic efficiency of investments. Based on the databases at our disposal, analogues are searched for, eliminating duplication of work topics.
