The role of the pharmaceutical industry in innovative development

The pharmaceutical industry today is one of the most innovative and capacious industries. And it is in this industry that it is most difficult to establish an innovation process. Please note that only highly developed countries can afford their own innovative pharmaceutical industry.

Science and Innovation in Russia: a heartbreaking sight

In the field of science and innovation in Russia, depressing stagnation has been observed for decades.

Innovative developments are unprofitable for scientists

If we analyze the legal casuistry of the fourth part of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which establishes the right of scientists-developers to receive remuneration for alienating the rights to the results of their work to the employer, the conclusions are very disappointing.
