Dmitry Chernyshenko held another meeting of the Presidium of the Commission for Scientific and Technological Development of Russia
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko held a regular meeting of the Presidium of the Commission for Scientific and Technological Development of Russia, at which confirmed the winners competitive selection for the provision of grants to world-class research centers (WRC).
The meeting was attended by the Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov, the President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Gennady Krasnikov, the First Deputy Minister of Economic Development Maxim Kolesnikov, the Deputy Minister of Finance Pavel Kadochnikov, and representatives of scientific and educational organizations.
“Based on the results of the competition, 10 NCMUs were selected. Their activities will be aimed at developing and introducing into the economy the most important science-intensive technologies defined by the decree of President Vladimir Putin. The size of the subsidy for each of the selected world-class scientific centers will be up to 320 million rubles annually,” Dmitry Chernyshenko emphasized.
The Deputy Prime Minister also noted that the commission’s scientific and technical council provided expertise for all applications received, and thanked its head Gennady Krasnikov for the work he had done.
The head of the Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov, reported that applications were received for the competitive selection in all seven priority areas of scientific and technological development approved by the head of state.
“In the future, it is planned to assign selected scientific centers to industry federal executive bodies. This will ensure the closest possible interaction between the parties,” the minister noted.
“Last year, in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of June 18, 2024, seven priority areas of scientific and technological development of our country were approved. In this regard, when considering applications, the scientific and technical council of the commission and the Russian Academy of Sciences proceeded from the fact that each priority area should correspond to at least one world-class scientific center. In total, we considered 46 applications,” said RAS President Gennady Krasnikov.
Grants in the form of subsidies from the federal budget for the creation of the NCMU will be provided to 10 winning centers:
— World-class scientific center IT SB RAS “Thermophysics and Power Engineering” (S.S. Kutateladze Institute of Thermal Physics SB RAS),
— World-class scientific center “New materials for special purposes” (Tomsk State University),
— Center for Cybernetic Medicine and Neuroprosthetics (Federal Center for Brain and Neurotechnology FMBA),
— Center for Modern Breeding of Agricultural Plants (Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Growing),
— World-class scientific center “Agroengineering of the Future” (Stavropol State Agrarian University),
— Center for Advanced Microelectronics (Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology),
— “Electronic and quantum technologies based on synthetic diamond” (NRNU MEPhI),
— “Intelligent unmanned aircraft systems” (Samara National Research University named after academician S.P. Korolev),
— Center for Rational Use of Rare Metal Raw Materials (A.N. Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences),
— World-class scientific center “High-tech bioeconomics” (National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute”).
The size of the grants is determined by the development program of each center, which is formed for a period of at least six years.
Let us recall that the first world-class scientific centers were created in 2020 as part of the national project “Science and Universities”, the implementation of which was completed last year. On the instructions of President Vladimir Putin, a new stage of development of the centers will be implemented as part of the state program “Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation”.
