“I propose to substantially change the format of work and the principles of forming the Council for Science and Education,” Putin suggested.

"This refers to the fact that in a number of areas the work is carried out under the heading" Secret "," Top secret ", and sometimes under the heading of special importance," he said.
The President noted that it is necessary "to create a team that will be admitted to any work and thereby significantly strengthen the mechanism for making strategic decisions in the field of scientific and technological development."
Putin also instructed the government to prepare a new state program for the country's scientific and technological development.
