Economists proposed a scientific and technological breakthrough and a plan to achieve Russia’s sovereignty. writes about this RBC Referring to the report “Scientific and Technological Breakthrough and the Economy of Sovereignty” by a group of economists in the working group on technological development under the government’s economic modernization commission.
The study states that expenditures on scientific research in Russia do not exceed 1 percent of GDP and the number of scientists is decreasing. To achieve Russia’s technological dominance, economists recommend creating a supra-departmental science management body, increasing research and development funding to 3% of GDP, and at the same time solving the problem of “brain drain”.
The authors point out that the growth in the technological level of industry in the last 20 years has been largely determined by high-technology imports. Coupled with stagnant domestic research and development spending and declining numbers of scientists, this has led to “the ever-increasing threat of the national scientific and technological complex being left behind.”
According to researchers, it is no longer possible to achieve technological sovereignty only through increasing production volumes, import substitution and localization of foreign high-tech imports. The report notes that delivering new breakthrough discoveries has now been largely sacrificed to the task of scaling existing solutions, but without discoveries and breakthroughs, being a leader in core knowledge and technology fields is impossible in the long term.
The scientific editor of the report was Andrey Klepach, chief economist of VEB.RF. From the VEB Institute, the National Institute of Economic Forecasting of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Scientists from St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) and the Kurchatov Institute also took part in its founding.
