On October 9, 2025, during a meeting of the Expert Council of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the tasks for developing a 2027 plan for the Fundamental and Exploratory Scientific Research Program were established, and a ceremony was held to award the jubilee medal "300 Years of the Russian Academy of Sciences" to scientists who have made significant contributions to Russia's scientific and technological development and assisted the RAS in achieving its objectives. Among those awarded were Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, and Maria Karelina, Vice Rector.
The event was attended by the President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician Gennady Krasnikov, RAS Vice Presidents, Academicians Vladislav Panchenko and Stepan Kalmykov, and the Chief Scientific Secretary of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician Mikhail Dubina.
Sergei Sidorenko, Head of the Department of Scientific and Methodological Guidance and Expert Activities at the Russian Academy of Sciences and Academic Secretary of the RAS Expert Council, delivered a presentation. He outlined the key stages of formulating state assignments for scientific organizations and higher education institutions. To date, the Academy of Sciences has received information on expected results for fundamental and exploratory research: 658 scientific organizations and higher education institutions have submitted 12,817 expected results.
Sergey Sidorenko then discussed the mechanism for the RAS's assessment of technological requests from qualified customers. He noted that a target indicator for technological requests has been included in the Russian Federation's long-term Fundamental Scientific Research Program. Therefore, in terms of quantity and funding volume, the share of research on technological requests should be 10% or more, meaning over 550 studies with a funding amount of at least 25 billion rubles annually.
Based on the above, the development of a detailed plan for 2027 for the Program of Fundamental and Exploratory Scientific Research in the Russian Federation for the long-term period (2012-2030) in sections under the Coordinating Council of the Fundamental and Exploratory Scientific Research Program will be carried out on the basis of 12,817 expected results presented and over 1,200 technological requests from qualified customers.
Sergey Sidorenko presented the results of the review and approval of the RAS's conclusions on research reports and research topic proposals for scientific organizations and higher education institutions for 2026. In total, the Academy of Sciences prepared 20,256 conclusions in 2025: 11,600 of which were reviewed for research reports and 8,656 for research topic proposals. This includes 148 negative RAS conclusions.
"The role of the Russian Academy of Sciences' expertise has significantly increased today," noted Sergei Sidorenko. According to Russian Government Resolution No. 852 of June 7, 2025, if the RAS has not issued a conclusion by April 1 of the current financial year or has concluded that funding for relevant applied research topics is inappropriate, the funding is subject to reallocation.
The meeting also included a ceremony awarding the jubilee medal "300 Years of the Russian Academy of Sciences" to scientists who have made significant contributions to the scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation and assisted the Russian Academy of Sciences in achieving its objectives. The medals were presented by Gennady Krasnikov. Among those awarded were Vladimir Stroyev, Rector of the State University of Management, and Maria Karelina, Vice-Rector.
"I am confident that you will continue your effective work for the benefit of our country and to achieve common goals and objectives," Gennady Krasnikov congratulated the awardees.
