“We need concrete results in terms of control over those budget financing instruments that we have,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to him, if there are certain benchmarks for monitoring results in the framework of research and development work (R&D), according to the state task, then there are none for grants or public procurement.
“Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen control over other types of budget funds that are allocated to science so that there are results, and not reports on publications, especially in Western journals.
We still have such an assessment - publication in Western journals, but now this, obviously, is no longer suitable for analyzing the effectiveness of the use of costs, ”he said.
The minister added that now there are many scientific developments that do not end with anything.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the country's authorities intend to support the initiatives of Russian scientists.
