If we want to stay at the top of global development, we must, first of all, develop science." Thanks to the full support of the President, positive changes are taking place in the field of science. The amount of funding for science from the republican budget has almost doubled over the past two years. By 2025, it is planned to increase the amount of funding for science to 1% of gross domestic product. This will certainly give a great Impulse to the development of Russian science. If earlier the competitions of the Ministry of Education and Science for grant and program-targeted financing were held once every three years, now they will be held annually. It is worth noting that 5 contests were held in 2020 alone. Another important point is that new types of grants were approved for the first time in 2020. These are collaboration grants, short-term, individual, for young scientists, etc."
