Government online: Mikhail Kotyukov on the support of young scientists

In the early 2000s, Russian Science has faced a " demographic pit ". In the background is inherited from the post-perestroika period of lower payment science, wear And aging of the instrument base, it became clear that the crisis end of the 20th century did "unfashionable" the direction of professional activities of a scientist. As a result, instead of the powerful middle part of the scientific fraternity today has established significant clearing. We admire those who have remained faithful to the profession despite the hard times of the 90s. today, they are the elite of Russian science are the stewards of its traditions, the authors of achievements which is undoubtedly important For the development of our country. But today, when we are facing the goal of large-scale technological breakthrough on a global level, it is necessary to provide continuity And to make So That Science has become less competitive. Got to be new, More powerful generation of researchers.
each year the number of contenders for the mega-grants. Just last week We announced the start of acceptance of applications for new awards, mega-grants. 236 laboratories, first organized during the project, at least half of researchers aged under 39 years. Each year, about 2 thousand young scientists are using the scientific school of life labs-grant. If we consider the geography of coverage, It is in practice the entire country. I am sure that in a few years We can talk about about a powerful new generation of science of Russia. But, of course, still have a lot of work to do. We are improving the system of support for young researchers. During the national project "Science" provided the proper funding, And measures of social support, And the rules For scientific work according to international standards.
We focus on postgraduate education. In a few years to a substantial replenishment of the scientific fraternity young professionals, today's students are required to make a choice in favor of continuing his education in graduate school. We believe that the project will help to form a coherent system of training And professional improvement of scientific And scientific-pedagogical personnel in postgraduate study. On a competitive basis to graduate students will be provided with grant support of scientific And scientific-technical projects, which will be the basis For the dissertation on competition of a scientific degree of candidate of Sciences. The annual quota of 1500 grants for 600 thousand Rubles. per year provided for a period of 2 years, I'm Sure, will motivate graduate students And research Directors to submit the thesis.
And That's not All. In 2019 has already allocated 250 million And created at least 280 new laboratories in research institutions. In 2020 it is expected to provide financing of 750 million rubles, and in 2021-m - 800 million. All This became possible due to the state program "Scientific-technological development of the Russian Federation" And the national project " Science."
The government planned to introduce grants For new scientific schools under the leadership of young doctors of Sciences.
in addition, it is assumed the development of a common digital platform for scientific And scientific-technical cooperation, which is possible, as well as among them, to obtain comprehensive data on support for young researchers provided by the Government at the Federal or regional level.
The modern scientist needs not only personal support, But also in creating an environment of great quality For the scientific activities. This is probably the most difficult task. In the Federal budget are planned to increase spending on science. In 2019 We're talking about 416, 3 billion. In 2020, It's already 450, 4, and in 2021 - 460, seven billion. The cost of basic research will also significantly increase: 178, 9 billion rubles this year, 199, 1 billion in the coming, and in 2021 this amount needs to reach the target of 215, 9 billion. This is the level of government expenditure on science, which in General corresponds to the world trends. But We wish not only to Fund current processes. We need a serious scientific and technological breakthrough. This requires an interest in research results to industrial partners And preparedness to create high-tech products.
We should admit that currently we are facing the tasks, not only directly related to the funding of science, But also educational. We have to demonstrate that Science Is a respected, prestigious And promising field of activity. Because the Youth chooses not only material goods. Modern culture is largely built on finding harmony With himself And satisfaction from everyday work, to the pursuit of self-realization And development of their potential. One of the ways "scientific imposition" may become large-scale information support for promising projects. Young people ought to inform, where their skills will be in demand of the areas in which the world of Science is waiting for the big finds, discoveries, and inventions. It is Clear that the Modern Russian scientist by the level And quality of life must be absolutely competitive in comparison With other professional fields.
now One of the flagship measures of the state support for talented young people working in science, the grants of the RF President For young Russian scientists And leading scientific schools of the country. Each year on a competitive basis of grants allocated with 400 to 600 thousand Rubles. For young candidates of Sciences under 35 years And 60 grants (one million rubles) For young doctors of Sciences under 40 years old. In the range of instruments of support of young scientists includes also scholarships of the President of the Russian Federation For young scientists And postgraduates carrying out promising research And development primary areas of modernization of the Russian economy. Each year, 1,000 scholarships are given at the rate of 22, 8 thousand rubles each. The government of the Russian Federation was established on 7th annual awards in science And engineering For young scientists. Not so long ago made the conclusion of a two-fold increase in the size of the monetary part of the awards up to one million rubles.
in addition, there are funds of support of scientific, scientific-technical and innovative activities, to facilitate the authors in the actual implementation of their developments. This Fund of assistance to development of small forms of plants in scientific and technical sphere, the Russian scientific Foundation, Russian Foundation for basic research And others.
I see the future of Russian science is very promising. The government is doing today is very a lot To its development. If you look at the future Is here, we can see a major research centres And leading universities, unique scientific installations, industrial parks that must become centers of attraction of industrial partners, and among them large foreign organizations.
so, the Science of the future - This is today's choice of young generation who has every reason tomorrow to satisfy even the highest ambitions And clear expectations.
