“Due to the urgent need to involve domestic business in the development of domestic science, we ask you to provide the Tax Code with the possibility of obtaining a tax deduction for investment in the scientific sector for business in the amount of donations made,” the appeal says.
According to Kuja, this measure will be a step towards the creation of an "ecosystem of scientific philanthropy."
At the same time, it is emphasized that investments should be allocated to projects that correspond to the profile of the donor's activity.
Today, as Kuj notes, domestic universities have a sufficient technical and technological base.
They are open to cooperation with commercial companies in R&D (research and development).
In addition, the appeal says that through cooperation with business, universities begin to understand its needs, contacts are expanding on both sides, long-term cooperation practices are developing, and the companies themselves, coming to research and educational centers, develop their own educational programs, projects, laboratories there.
Earlier, as it became known to RT, the State Duma proposed to give the right to receive a free second or subsequent higher education, if the first was obtained on a commercial basis.
