We will exceed the state plan for innovation!
Innovation frome aue hart
Mikhail Zakharov, <url>An innovative society will be built in Russia!
By 2020. Such a positive forecast was made by the Ministry of Economic Development. The picture described in the document is so amazing that it becomes clear that it will be extremely difficult to implement the strategy in this form. What will definitely be possible to do is to shoot five fantastic films a year (this is recommended) and force senior and middle-level officials to learn a foreign language. Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko, I remember, promised to cope earlier – already by the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Right on the eve of the New Year, on December 31, the Ministry's website published the "Strategy of Innovative Development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2020". So far, however, only the project has two stages, 63 steps, scheduled by year up to 2020.
The document contains planned indicators for what Russia will be in 2020 in terms of innovation. "Quantitative indicators of such an economy by 2020 are the occupation of a significant share (5-10 percent) in the markets of high–tech and intellectual services in 5-7 positions, doubling the share of the high-tech sector in GDP (from 10.9 to 17-20%), increasing the share of innovative products in industrial output by five to six times, four-five times – the share of innovatively active enterprises (from 9.4 to 40-50 percent)," large–scale plans are announced.
The following areas are listed: nuclear technologies; aircraft construction; shipbuilding; software; weapons and military equipment; educational services; space services and the production of rocket and space technology.
In fact, the situation even in the ministry seems deplorable.
In general, it was not possible to reverse a number of significant trends for innovative development. It was not possible to radically increase the innovative activity and efficiency of companies, including state-owned ones, to create a competitive environment that encourages the use of innovations. Much more needs to be done to establish cooperation between science and business, to increase the level of commercialization of scientific developments in Russia to the level of developed OECD countries. Public funds allocated for research and development work are not spent efficiently enough in most sectors of the economy. It was not possible to solve the problem of aging of scientific personnel, although the state has made significant efforts to improve the situation," the strategy says.
"The key problem is the generally low demand for innovations in the Russian economy, as well as its inefficient structure – an excessive bias towards the purchase of finished equipment abroad to the detriment of the introduction of their own new developments," the authors write.
None of the public and private sector companies have invested in R&D yet. "R&D expenditures in 2008 in Russia are estimated at 1.04% of GDP, against 1.43% of GDP in China, and 2.3% in OECD countries, 2.77% of GDP in the USA, 3.44% of GDP in Japan," the document says. And further – human capital is good, but the quality of education is declining. Spending on science is growing, but the generation gap persists and "Russia is increasingly poorly represented in world science." Scientific and innovative activities are insufficiently funded, and "the state power itself is not innovative as a whole, and at the same time has not achieved significant success in creating an "innovative climate" in the country."
Next, the goals are indicated. The share of innovative products in the total volume of industrial production will increase to 25-35 percent in 2020 (in 2009 – 12.4 percent). Domestic expenditures on research and development will increase to 2.5-3 percent of gross domestic product in 2020 (in 2009 – 1.24%), of which more than half is at the expense of the private sector. The share of Russian researchers in the global number of publications in scientific journals will increase to 5 percent in 2020 (in 2008 – 2.48%). A lot of other things are set goals.
It is also stated that for an "innovative economy, an "innovative person" is needed (characterized by the ability to constantly study, proficiency in foreign languages, creativity and entrepreneurship, etc.), not identical to an innovative entrepreneur. To create a new innovation climate, it is proposed to eliminate administrative barriers (including technical regulation, customs and tax regulation, etc.). As well as to "outstrip" the costs of "co-financing innovative projects of private companies (including through the implementation of a project to support business cooperation and national research universities), through building work with state companies on development and implementation of innovative development programs by them. Support for start–up companies (startups) will also be expanded through existing development institutions - the RVC seed Fund, the Fund for Promoting the Development of Small Forms of Enterprises in the Scientific and Technical Sphere, through regional small business support programs, as well as through support for the implementation of specific projects in key high-tech sectors within the framework of relevant state programs and subprograms (energy, space, aviation industry, radio electronics, composite materials, etc.)".
The positive of the program is off the scale so much that it becomes creepy from our near innovative future. It is proposed to force businesses to innovate by creating conditions for them. Russian companies have been promised support to promote innovative products in foreign markets. "The share of persons over 50 years of age holding the positions of heads of the highest and main groups of positions of the state civil service" will be systematically reduced from 48 percent now to 30 in 2020. The state will become more open through the implementation of the E–Government program, and young people will become more innovative through the implementation of the Youth of Russia program.
And a few more initiatives. "In the very near future, we will have to restore interest in science fiction using the most modern means of media and educational promotion of information." "In order to maintain an appropriate culture of innovation, it is necessary to continue creating various kinds of educational TV shows, intellectual TV shows; annually create at least five films in the best traditions of domestic and world science fiction." "The qualification requirements for holding senior and senior civil service positions will include knowledge of a foreign language at a level that allows for direct communication with foreign colleagues." However, for all civil servants, only 20 percent are expected to have fluency in the language.
What can I add here? "Ai olsou promis, from in twenti twenti i'll speak English like may friend Jeff Thomson." "Frome may Hart. In English".
