Basic science and the future of Russia (the last part)

Two months after receiving an open letter from more than 200 scientists sent to the country's top leader, DA President Medvedev, Prime Minister Vov Putin and other senior leaders of the Russian government have countered. quickly recovered and made important policies on the country's scientific, technical and educational development plans in the coming years.

Along with the speech of Russian Prime Minister Vov Putin is a message before DA President Medvedev's Federal meeting. In the message, the head of Russia gave strong, clear and concrete guidelines to bring Russian science to the top position in the world.

Science, the most noble embodiment of the country

'We will create an environment with favorable scientific conditions for the implementation in Russia of world-class research and development projects (abbreviated as RD). As the French scientist Luis Pasteur once shared his passion, that: Science must be the most noble embodiment of the country, because in all the peoples of this world the top position always belongs to about who pioneered in intellectual and intellectual labor . and these are really great prophecies.

Our people used to have many talents with creative ability to make progress and implement new inventions. They are the people who contribute to the foundation of the developing world of knowledge and we must do everything so that these professionals really care about returning to work in their home country.

Bringing together good Russian scientists

Therefore, we must have a regular operating mechanism to support and attract the best Russian scientists, foreign experts as well as experienced business people to commercialize RD results. come to work in Russia. Obviously, this is not a simple job. Procedures for recognition of academic degrees, university diplomas issued by world-famous universities as well as administrative regulations in receiving foreign experts into working Russia must be applied. simplify. Visas for these foreign experts must be granted quickly and for a long-term stay, simply because we need them and not vice versa.

By the way, I would like to say that many people have sent feedback on my article and stressed that our fellow scientists who are currently working abroad can fully assemble into a significant force in the professional association provides expert advice and assistance at international level for Russia's science and technology projects, and once the necessary conditions are met, they can return to the country. .

Establishing advanced universities and institutes immediately .

I propose that the Government be responsible for strengthening funding in the form of projects for RD activities with the latest technology based on public competition. State development investment agencies must explore and select promising projects across the country to provide financial support to experimental production enterprises; including small and medium enterprises established at universities and scientific research institutes in accordance with the law. Of course, the risks of this process must be sought to share with private investors.

This issue is being discussed by many people in the country. For example, recent suggestions from the Altai region have to be established in modern universities with 'trial business' facilities. This is one of the recommended recommendations from previous years. And it is at such facilities that future graduates and engineers will learn how to apply their technical innovations right into profitable business projects and trial production. I think such ideas deserve all support and encouragement.

I emphasize that not only the country but all the major economic corporations of the country must be involved in building exploration orders for the RD results of such projects. Rather, this is the social responsibility of private companies. In addition, a large part of these projects must be internationally accredited and implemented in business cooperation with international partners.

No later than the first quarter of the year, the Government must make decisions on administrative organizations and budget to ensure the implementation of the above tasks. I emphasize that allocating the state budget for these objectives must particularly take into account the priorities we have chosen for the development of science and technology.

. and a world-class RD center

Finally, we need to complete the feasibility study of the proposal to build in the territory of the Russian Federation a large-scale Research and Development Center of the world, focusing on research activities according to all Priority direction of scientific and technical development, I emphasize is all direction.

Specifically, these must be modern technology centers, wishing to be like Silicon Valley or other similarly advanced science and technology centers in the world. In the framework of this project, the most attractive living and working conditions will be ensured for the leading scientists, engineers, design engineers, programmers, project managers and the top houses. . The future science and technology products of the center must be at the highest level of competition in the modern technology market of the world. '
