Federal target program "Research and development 2014-2020"

The first stage of work within the framework of the Federal Target Program “Research and Development 2014-2020” has been completed. Based on the results of the competitive selection of organizations performing scientific research within the framework of the implementation of the federal target program “Research and development in priority areas of development of the scientific and technological complex of Russia for 2014-2020” (Event 1.1., 21st stage) of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, Center for Scientific Research -technical expertise of the IPEI RANEPA was recognized as the winner of the competitive selection. (Subsidy agreement No. 14.601.21.0009, concluded between the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation and RANEPA for conducting research on the topic “Creation of a system of measurable indicators and methods for their use to determine priority areas of science and technology”)

The RANEPA scientific team under the leadership of Natalia Glebovna Kurakova completed the first stage of work on the topic “Analysis of existing approaches and models for selecting priority areas of scientific and technological development of a civil nature using measurable indicators” under subsidy agreement No. 14.601.21.0009, concluded between the Ministry of Education and science of the Russian Federation and RANEPA to conduct research on the topic “Creation of a system of measurable indicators and methods for their use to determine priority areas of science and technology.”

An analysis of the reasons for the transformation of scientific, technological and industrial policies in industrialized and developing countries in the post-crisis period of 2011-2015 was carried out. It is shown that the diffusion of technologies associated with the activities of TNCs and the practice of expanding scientific and technological outsourcing has led to the threat of a transition of technological leadership from the USA and EU countries to China and the Republic of Korea. To prevent trends leading to the loss of primacy, first of all, in the development of new production technologies, the United States and the EU countries have chosen the strategy of reindustrialization of their own economies as the main vector for updating scientific and technological policy. At the same time, there is an increasingly clear tendency to limit the export of the most breakthrough and advanced technologies outside the leading countries, i.e. the trend of internationalization of scientific and technological activities is increasingly being replaced by the policy of “technological colonization”.

When choosing priorities for science and technology in industrialized and developing countries in 2011-2015. Measurable indicators of technological areas such as “increasing labor productivity using new technologies”, “creating products with high added value”, “creating new jobs”, “volume of the global market created by products and services of the new technological agenda”, have acquired particular importance. “the opportunity to capture significant niches in the global market.” When using this group of indicators, the models for choosing priorities in the Republic of Korea are of great interest. Another group of measured indicators is associated with a comparative assessment of the competitiveness of national technological advances with those of countries claiming leadership positions. Such indicators are used in forecasts of scientific and technological development of Japan.

In general, the research carried out gives grounds to conclude that the choice of priorities for scientific and technological development of developed and developing countries in the format of state scientific, technological and industrial policy occurs on the basis of goal setting related to the solution of current socio-economic and political problems facing the country. A system of measurable indicators of priority technological areas appears when they are formalized and operationalized at the level of departments responsible for the implementation of priorities.

The second stage of work within the framework of the Federal Target Program “Research and Development 2014-2020” has been completed. The RANEPA scientific team under the leadership of Natalia Glebovna Kurakova completed the second stage of work on the topic “Development of a system of measurable indicators, taking into account its testing to determine priority areas of science and technology” within the framework of the Federal Target Program “Research and development in priority areas of development of the scientific and technological complex of Russia for 2014- 2020."

The scientific research carried out was aimed at creating a system of measured indicators and a Methodology for their use for comparison, ranking and justification for the choice of priorities for scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation.

Based on an analysis of existing approaches and models for choosing priorities for scientific and technological development using measurable indicators in leading foreign countries and international organizations, as well as taking into account the characteristics of the national innovation system, 30 indicators were selected, grouped into five basic factors characterizing the level of development and prospects of a particular scientific and technological direction. Indicators reflect the influence of several trends simultaneously (i.e. multifactorial); contain a clear and unambiguous interpretation of the results for decision makers; quantitatively express the state of the object of analysis, make it possible to clearly determine the direction of the changes taking place; are formed using a relatively simple procedure for collecting information and making calculations; make it possible to evaluate the object of examination in dynamics.

For the purposes of practical use of the Methodology, the measured indicators are expressed in relative and standardized values. The assessment algorithm proposed in the Methodology makes it possible to implement any degree of detail when choosing a scientific and technological direction. The measured indicators selected for assessment are integrated using the formulas of simple or weighted average indicators, taking into account their significance and role in characterizing the scientific and technological direction and have different statistical weights. Integral assessments are summarized into a final indicator of the priority of the analyzed area.

Using the example of four scientific and technological areas, the Methodology was tested, the results of which were discussed at expert events with the participation of representatives of the Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations of Russia, the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, and the Moscow Innovation Agency. The comments and suggestions made by the experts were taken into account and reflected in the final version of the Methodology.

It is expected that the use of the Methodology will help justify management decisions aimed at concentrating intellectual, financial, organizational and infrastructural resources to support research and development, as well as the creation of products and services necessary to respond to the great challenges facing the Russian Federation.
