Contactless war with Lysenko - BBC

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, has made several policy statements on the future of Russia’s applied science and a new “creative class.” However, the contradictions between the scientists and the government lacks, including because of the desire to measure the yardstick science business. Representatives of the Academy call this repetition Lysenko.

Since the word “innovation” has come into everyday political life in Russia, constantly refers to the need to create a high-tech economy. To do this, naturally, need to unite science and industry. Russian economists actively used to explain the need for the development of the term “sixth technological order”, that is a new stage of development of the economy, where the main industries are biotechnology, nanotechnology, and so on. It talked about this in our technological development “Tekhnoprom” which was held in Novosibirsk, November 14-15.

« Dissernet

«Let them understand who is who stole»

Network members a free community “disserokopateley” this time digging in the dissertations of former and current officials … ?

event was very ambitious: According to unofficial information the organizers, the first day it registered about 4 thousand participants. In Novosibirsk profit CEO “RUSNANO” Anatoly Chubais, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, the deputy head of the Ministry of Education Alexander Klimov (the first day of the forum was aware of borrowing in his dissertation , the second day of official missing, despite its presence in the program), MPs and others.

course, “Tekhnoprom” was primarily of interest to specialists in applied fields: forum aligned with the Venture Fair.

However, the science of the forum also said, though less readily.

Indicative

discussion turned to the “round table” “The integration of education, science and industry,” which identified several critical problem areas in the relationship between science and the modern Russian business and government. For example, much has been said about the “competence” and the need to improve the management of science, yet few successful technology specific cases mostly came from the now reformed institutions of the Academy of Sciences (showed them the head of the nuclear cluster Fund “Skolkovo” Alexander Fertman), and reformed it under the banner of improving the quality of governance.

«Russian DARPA» already in the Duma

Russian President Vladimir Putin submitted to the State Duma a draft law on the establishment of the Foundation for Advanced Studies – an analog of the American defense … ?

What the scientists, technologists and managers often do not find a common language, it became clear after the presentation by the Foundation for Advanced Studies Sergei Vasiliev. This created with the support of the organization should identify Rogozin military breakthrough technology and money to invest in them.

According to Vasilyev, the period of testing hypotheses prospects for them – from three to five years, which has caused a replica Moderator: “Well, you do not give us five weeks».

It is this thirst

superrezultata in the short term, of course, does not allow scientists to work in the future.

However, the most significant, including from the point of view of science policy, was the plenary session with the most status speakers.

The award for women scientists in 2013 were nine employees and one employee of the Russian Academy of Sciences Medical Sciences

Cinderella of the Russian Academy of Sciences

ceremony the next prize to young women scientists was a real triumph of the Russian Academy of Sciences, subjected to this year’s reform of all winners … ?

first speaker, Dmitry Rogozin, said the software: that Russia, “pardon the expression, fucked ‘previous technological system (based on the development of electronics, information technology, etc.) and now we need to” cut corners. ” Vice-Premier of the Russian Government elaborated on the wars of the next generation, “contactless” wars: in his view, the new equipment (operating at speeds in excess of 6-20 times the speed of sound) will make the traditional armed forces meaningless.

Chairman of the Board “RUSNANO” Anatoly Chubais focused on a specific area he described the future of Russian nanotechnology. According to him, in 2015, with the participation of nanotechnology should reach 300 billion rubles., And private – 600 billion with over two years the volume of Russian nanomanufacturing increased 23-fold, from 1 billion to 23 billion rubles. However, Chubais said is repeated constantly in our mind: the science and application of interest only to pay off.

«Our problem – not the creation of research and development, business creation, always with private investors”, – said the head of “RUSNANO».

Vice-President of Russian Academy of Sciences, head of the Siberian Branch (SB RAS) Alexander Aseyev the least adhered to the trend: he just shared his concern about the possible use of “business methods” in the institutions related to the defense industry. In an interview with “Gazety.Ru” Aseyev explained his idea: “Now the scientific work will be evaluated on the criteria that have been adopted in the business, that is, if the result of the money is – that all is well, no – Goodbye».

On the subject of reform

RAN Online tried not to talk about. Aseyev in his welcoming speech said that the participants must be “a new energy” to solve new problems, however, then repeating “Gazety.Ru,” which, in his opinion, it is not about reform, and the elimination of.

head of Russian Academy of Sciences has described what is happening with the use of historical analogy: “We repeat period of the late 40′s, Lysenkoism, that is the solution of scientific problems with the repressive apparatus of the state».

However, the Academy is not going to give up. “We are making something, there are many of our allies, chief designers, members of the government,” – said Aseyev.

“Gazety.Ru” visited the Novosibirsk Academic and saw firsthand how famous scientific center of Russia turns … ?

may have had in mind was Rogozin, which Aseyev found common ground in terms of the future of Russian science, especially the formation of the people, and that will make a technological breakthrough in the “sixth way.” Rogozin called their general designers who must not be afraid to take risks. Immediately Vice-Premier is a picture of a bright future: these people, as they are called Rogozin, the new creative class, will be able to understand the needs of the state and bring them to the Academy of Sciences.

At this point in the debate came Derevjanko moderator of Oksana, who spoke philosophically: in addition it will bring order to the Russian basic science understanding of why it works. Just a little further into the pathos went Aseyev, proposing to consider the achievement of a new technological structure of the new national idea of ??Russia.

course, about the national idea and other cosmic concepts can talk a lot, but

naked eye much controversy: the government is ready to spend money, but wants the result here and now, but in basic science is not always happen.

Authority considers that it is necessary to better manage the science, but it leads to chaos and may result in the long term to the destruction of the institutional framework of scientific activity. And it does not help the sixth, seventh or even technological way: he will not emerge from that.
