A meeting of the coordinating committee for the Decade of Science and Technology was held under the chairmanship of Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The meeting presented preliminary results of the 5th Congress of Young Scientists and satellite events in 2025, and discussed the results of the implementation of the Decade of Science and Technology plan and proposals for next year.

"I'm sure everyone has already had a chance to stroll around the university grounds. And participants of previous congresses can see how significant and positive the changes are. Both in terms of the presentation of results and in terms of the presence of 'Our Lab'—they're showcasing new equipment, equipment of a different quality—and in terms of education—all of today's presentations and roundtable discussions for young scientists were rich in content. All sections were packed. It's gratifying," said Russian Presidential Aide Andrey Fursenko.

Dmitry Chernyshenko noted that the 5th Congress of Young Scientists is a key event of the Decade of Science and Technology. The popularization of science and support for young talent are already having a visible impact.

"Every year, the Congress of Young Scientists gains momentum, demonstrating increasingly impressive results, living up to its motto, 'The Energy of Science: From the Potential of Knowledge to the Creation of the Future.' The goal set by the President is to ensure Russia's undisputed technological leadership. This year, the congress brought together participants from over 100 countries. Beyond the numbers, we must maintain the unique atmosphere for which the congress is renowned—the openness of Russian science, its scale, and its value, first and foremost for our country, but also for the entire world," the Deputy Prime Minister stated.

He added that the Decade's events are an opportunity to engage talented young people, entrepreneurs, and representatives of the real sector of the Russian economy in the field of science.

"It is imperative that, in addition to achieving the high level of technological leadership, we achieve the tangible target set by the President: increasing science spending to 2% of GDP by 2030, including through increased business investment. Thus, in 2025, agreements were concluded and signed with new partners, including Gazprom Neft, Rosselkhozbank, and Aeroflot, as part of the Decade's thematic initiatives. As part of the Science and Business initiative, more than 790,000 participants from nearly 500 universities took part in events under the federal program, the University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform. Thanks to the program, more than 35,000 university startups have been created, and almost 3 billion rubles have been raised," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The government-approved plan for the Decade of Science and Technology includes 12 initiatives, projects, and events. Overall, this year's results demonstrated increased interest in the Decade's activities.

This year, one in five candidates of science will be under 29 years old and one in three doctors of science will be under 39 years old at the Young Scientists Congress. In total, the participants include over 3,000 people with scientific degrees. The total number of candidates of science has increased by 45% compared to 2024, reaching almost 2,500.

Following the meeting, Dmitry Chernyshenko issued a number of instructions, including to the Ministry of Education and Science to collect applications for hosting events associated with the Cabinet of Ministers in 2026 by March 1.

President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Gennady Krasnikov proposed using the platform of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences to more actively engage RAS scientists in discussing the events of the Decade of Science and Technology and improving its instruments.

"Many of our RAS members are responsible for entire areas of the fundamental research program and participate in the work of the Commission on Scientific and Technological Development. And they, like no one else, know where science popularization efforts are most needed today, which areas of fundamental science are underserved, and where the personnel shortage is particularly acute. After all, the development of fundamental science, where it is impossible to prioritize or predict results, must necessarily proceed on a broad front. This means there must be strong research teams across all scientific fields," he noted.

"The Anniversary Congress of Young Scientists demonstrates its scale and steadily growing interest from the scientific and educational communities. Over the past few years, the number of participants and the number of business program events have more than doubled, while the exhibition space and the number of exhibitors grow annually. This year, we focused particularly on new formats of interaction – new discussion formats, interactive exhibits, and industry clusters have been launched. Participants have shown strong interest in expanding the industry agenda, and we plan to continue this work at future congresses," noted Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of Russia and Head of the Interdepartmental Working Group for the Preparation and Holding of the Congress of Young Scientists and Associated Events.

In her speech, Sofia Malyavina, CEO of the National Priorities Autonomous Non-Profit Organization, discussed the progress of the Decade of Science and Technology, scientists, and their developments, and shared the latest sociological research data: "Since 2022, the Nauka.rf portal—the Decade of Science's main resource—has been visited more than 48 million times. Every month, we are seeing an increase in the number of subscribers to our social media groups and channels, as well as visitors and views of materials on the website. Over the course of this period, we have published approximately 9,000 materials on the website."

The meeting of the coordinating committee was also attended by Alexander Smirnov, Head of the Presidential Executive Office for Public Relations and Communications; Denis Sekirinsky, Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education; Natalya Virtuozova, General Director of the ANO "Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements 'Russia'"; Alexey Goreslavsky, General Director of the ANO "Institute for Internet Development"; Maxim Dreval, General Director of the Russian Society "Knowledge"; Elena Shmeleva, Head of the Educational Foundation "Talent and Success"; Artur Orlov, Chairman of the Board of the Russian Movement of Children and Youth "Movement of the First"; and Viktor Sadovnichy, Rector of Moscow State University.

The Presidium (Headquarters) of the Government Commission on Regional Development has made management decisions on 32 more unfinished construction projects included in the federal register of unfinished construction projects. Of these, 14 will be completed. Thus, decisions have now been made on 780 projects, according to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"The joint work of the Government and the Ministry of Construction of Russia to reduce the number of unfinished projects facilitates the commissioning of vital infrastructure. These include, for example, medical and sports facilities, roads, and housing and utilities infrastructure, all of which were built with budgetary funds. Completing such projects directly improves the quality of life for citizens and stimulates regional development. As part of this work, the Government Commission on Regional Development approved decisions on 32 more unfinished projects, 14 of which are planned for completion," said Marat Khusnullin.

Among them are socially significant objects from various regions of the country: an exhibition pavilion in the Arkhangelsk region, treatment buildings of the Kaliningrad Psychiatric Hospital, a central district hospital and maternity hospital in the Republic of Dagestan, water intake wells and water supply networks in the Chechen Republic, a section of highway in the Leningrad region, and a storage facility for a museum in Torzhok, Tver region.

The Deputy Prime Minister clarified that the federal registry currently includes 781 projects from 35 agencies. Overall, management decisions have been made on 780 projects to date, 379 of which will be completed.

The registry includes projects financed by the federal budget. Information about them is provided by government customers and then verified by an interdepartmental commission.

"Following the joint work of the headquarters, the Ministry of Construction, and relevant agencies, 45 projects have already been completed. Inclusion in the register allows the Presidium (Headquarters) of the Government Commission on Regional Development to determine the future of each project: completion, sale, demolition, or transfer to the regional level. If the decision is made to complete construction, a detailed implementation plan is developed for each project," noted Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Utilities Yuri Gordeyev.

Previously, as part of efforts to reduce the number of unfinished construction projects, new approaches and a regulatory framework were developed, and a federal register of unfinished construction projects was created.

Tatyana Golikova spoke at the presentation session "100 Projects of Russia. People" at the National Center "Russia."

Preserving the population, improving citizens' health, increasing their well-being, and providing comprehensive support to families remain among the state's most important priorities. Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova announced this during the presentation session "Platform of the Future: 100 Russian Projects. People." The event took place on November 26 at the National Center "Russia."

"Preserving the nation is the key national goal outlined by the head of state. All national projects and priorities we are implementing are aimed at this goal. But today we are talking about people-centered national projects. These include the national projects 'Family,' 'Personnel,' 'Long and Active Life,' and 'New Health-Saving Technologies.' Each has its own set of objectives, but they share a common thread: preserving our country's nation. And, of course, the key here is increasing the birth rate and maintaining the positive trend toward an increase in the number of large families. Today, we can already say that over 9 million children in Russia are being raised in large families," said Tatyana Golikova.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that the Year of the Family once again demonstrated that family is the most important value for Russians. Over the past few years, the government has consistently built a comprehensive system of state support.

Starting in 2026, working parents of two or more children will be able to receive an annual family tax payment. According to preliminary estimates, over 4 million families will benefit from this support.

More than 15 million families have already received maternity capital, and over 14.6 million families have used its funds in one form or another. For the sixth year in a row, maternity capital has been available not only to families having a second child but also to those raising their first child. Families having a third child can receive 450,000 rubles to pay off their mortgage debt. Furthermore, the President extended the preferential family mortgage program until 2030.

During his speech, Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov stated that another priority today is supporting participants in the special military operation and their adaptation to civilian life.

"Today, personnel centers conduct assessments of knowledge and qualifications, and select appropriate retraining programs. All retraining programs for in-demand professions and skills are completely free. Furthermore, the state is willing to reimburse employers for the costs of adapting workplaces for employees with disabilities—up to 200,000 rubles per workplace—to ensure all the individual's specific needs and limitations are taken into account. Some young people want to work for themselves. Starting in 2026, they will be able to apply for a social contract to start their own business without an income assessment. I hope that we will be able to offer our defenders the widest possible range of solutions. Already, 50,000 participants in the special military operation and their families have received employment assistance," said Anton Kotyakov.

According to Tatyana Golikova, the key objectives associated with the first national goal include increasing life expectancy. This means accessible healthcare, timely and effective preventative measures, the development of high-tech medical care, and ensuring technological sovereignty in healthcare.

"Russian President Vladimir Putin has identified technological leadership as a key priority. Nine priority areas have been identified within this strategic direction, including healthcare and the national project 'New Health-Saving Technologies.' This project represents a technological breakthrough specifically in healthcare, and our primary goal is to ensure the country's independence in this area," emphasized Tatyana Golikova.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the project includes the development of new drugs, medical devices, and advanced technologies. A significant portion of the national project is focused specifically on innovation. Currently, she said, 14 drugs are being developed, five of which are first-in-class. Their mode of action is unique worldwide. These include drugs for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, as well as treatments for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and neonatal pathologies. All of these drugs are already in clinical trials, meaning that if trials are successful, they will be introduced into clinical practice and made available to patients, the Deputy Prime Minister explained.

"Nine more drugs are under development, targeting relevant medical devices and are also part of our work to implement modern therapeutic solutions. Our main task today is to ensure that the achievements of this technological leadership project reach specific patients, specific consumers. We want these developments not to remain mere fundamental research on the shelf, but to truly provide help to people suffering from diseases that today are the absolute leaders in morbidity and mortality. These are primarily cardiovascular diseases and oncological diseases," the Deputy Prime Minister added.

She also recalled that in September 2025, a regional project dedicated to healthy longevity medicine was launched at the federal level. This project encompasses not only medical aspects but also the entire infrastructure for living. This is precisely what the Russian Government is working toward, creating the conditions for everyone to lead a healthy and fulfilling life, Tatyana Golikova emphasized.

Over the past five years, the volume of high-tech medical care provided has increased annually, noted First Deputy Minister of Health Viktor Fisenko. From 2020 to 2024, 6.86 million high-tech surgeries were performed, with 1.54 million performed in 2024 alone—14% more than planned, he noted.

Furthermore, the state is emphasizing culture as the foundation for fostering spiritual and moral values, a family environment, and the comprehensive development of the individual. To this end, accessible infrastructure and high-quality cultural content, especially for children, are being created in all regions of the country. According to Tatyana Golikova, the key objectives of the national project "Culture," which concluded in 2024, and the new national project "Family" are the creation of a unified cultural space and the revival of traditional spiritual and moral values throughout the country.

"For us, culture is a special space where all family members can share experiences. Today, it's not just a leisure activity, but an opportunity for spiritual dialogue between generations. Our primary goal is to ensure that every family, even in the most remote village, has this opportunity," she said.

Culture is an integral part of the national "Family" project, noted Tatyana Golikova. During the first phase of the project, she explained, the Russian government focused on creating and modernizing infrastructure. New institutions were built and existing ones were renovated to ensure families had access to cultural resources. The country is now moving on to the next stage: developing content that will focus on culture and its priority values. Near-term plans include the creation of an extensive network of children's cultural and educational centers within existing cultural institutions and the modernization of philharmonic societies.

"Children's art schools continue to play a special role in this work. They are our unique Russian heritage, of which we are rightfully proud. And these children's art schools fulfill a much deeper mission than simply training future musicians. Within their walls, discipline, systemic thinking, aesthetic taste, and an emotional perception of the world are instilled—everything that shapes the personality and lays the foundation for the development of a young person. And if a child embraces these values, then their family embraces them too, and this creates a unique environment for the formation of culture within society," said Tatyana Golikova.

In 2025, the country will continue to overhaul children's art schools, build 50 new schools, create 1,500 children's leisure centers, and create 24 regional philharmonic societies, the Deputy Prime Minister added.

Currently, approximately 1.8 million children in Russia are studying in more than 5,000 children's art schools, according to Minister of Culture Olga Lyubimova. According to her, the ministry's goal is not only to identify gifted children but also to provide opportunities for all children with an interest in creativity to develop.

Valery Fyodorov, Director General of the VTsIOM Analytical Center, moderated the meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister. He stated that large-scale work will be undertaken by 2030, the primary instrument of which will be national projects, which include specific actions that ensure results.

"The state has national goals, and each of us has personal ones. By researching Russians' goals, we identified key priorities: good health, creating a happy family, raising children, having reliable friends, pursuing a favorite activity, and having an interesting job. In other words, our individual goals align with the state's goals. Almost all of these factors of personal happiness fall within the scope of the national goal of 'Preserving the population, improving health and well-being, and supporting families,'" said Valery Fyodorov.

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov took part in the opening ceremony of the Moscow Shipyard, which has been under construction since 2023.

"The attraction of significant financial and intellectual resources has enabled the development of a fully-fledged shipbuilding cluster in the Nagatinskaya Poima. In addition to the full-cycle production of regular, pleasure, and cruise electric vessels, we have also established repair and maintenance facilities, as well as a design bureau, which will enable us to develop expertise in electric navigation and improve the energy efficiency, controllability, maneuverability, and comfort of electric vessels," noted Denis Manturov.

The event was attended by Nikolai Patrushev, Aide to the President of Russia and Chairman of the Maritime Collegium, and Sergei Sobyanin, Mayor of Moscow.

The First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the opening of the Moscow Shipyard will facilitate the resolution of several objectives set by the Russian President, namely, the renewal of the river passenger fleet and the achievement of technological leadership in key industrial sectors.

"The further development of navigation along the capital's main waterway and many other Russian rivers is a source of long-term, sustainable demand for ships scheduled for keel-laying at the shipyard. To reduce the financial burden on customers, government support measures such as leasing subsidies and ship recycling grants may be implemented," Denis Manturov explained.

He added that more than 50,000 people across the country will be involved in the shipbuilding cooperation at the new shipyard. This includes a wide range of component and marine equipment manufacturers. A separate area that Moscow is actively developing in cooperation with Rosatom is traction batteries.

Denis Manturov held a meeting to update the automotive industry development strategy.

First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov held a meeting to update the Automotive Industry Development Strategy to 2035. Representatives from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Finance, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, Rosstandart, the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Energy, and the heads of leading industry companies participated in the event.

The meeting participants discussed the key approaches to developing the updated document, which are currently being discussed by relevant agencies and the industry. Denis Manturov noted that the key benchmark for the Strategy should not be market size, but local production in various segments. The industry's multiplier effect and its impact on related economic sectors must also be taken into account.

The First Deputy Prime Minister also emphasized that market estimates up to 2035 must be realistic and take into account the forecasts of the Bank of Russia and the Ministry of Economic Development for key macroeconomic indicators.

Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Albert Karimov discussed progress in addressing industry-specific objectives set by the current version of the Strategy for the Development of the Automotive Industry of the Russian Federation until 2035, which was approved in 2022. Specifically, over 80% of production sites abandoned by former foreign partners have been restored to full operation, over 40% of critical auto components and materials have been localized, and stable employment has been ensured for approximately 300,000 people in the automotive industry. Current challenges create the preconditions for advancing long-term goals—increasing the level of motorization in the country, increasing the competitiveness of domestic products, and stimulating fleet renewal.

One of the long-term goals is to stimulate automotive sales volumes that will enhance the industry's investment appeal in terms of private capital inflows, as well as scale up domestic production. Furthermore, it is necessary to create conditions for increased investment in R&D and increase the share of vehicles equipped with advanced driver assistance and autonomous driving systems.

"The production system itself must become more flexible and connected. It's necessary to optimize processes at enterprises by increasing labor productivity, the level of automation and robotics, and expanding the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning systems," noted Albert Karimov.

When working on the updated Strategy, special attention will be paid to the creation of domestic platform solutions, their unification, and work on standardizing the component base.

Implementation of the Strategy's key provisions should satisfy the market and transportation industry's demand for competitive Russian automobiles, while ensuring that domestically produced vehicles account for at least 80% of the total market. This will also increase the automotive industry's contribution to the national economy.

Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko delivered a report at a meeting of the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy, held at the Analytical Center under the Government. In his report, Grigorenko discussed the results of the implementation of government digital systems and the testing of government services in user testing labs.

During a visit to the Analytical Center under the Government, senators from the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy learned about the work of the government services user testing lab. All government services undergo testing in such labs before their launch. This testing is conducted using domestically produced neurophysiological equipment and additional methods such as in-depth interviews and usability testing. This allows for assessing the ease of use of government services and identifying and addressing any difficulties people experience when accessing them.

"The government has introduced a new approach to designing public services. All new public services are tested in laboratories. Based on the test results, the services are refined and only then made available to users. Over 1,700 public services and all 70 real-life situations have already been tested—both those already implemented and those planned for launch by the end of 2025," said Dmitry Grigorenko.

During the meeting, senators of the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy were also shown the operation of the monitoring systems for the national project "Data Economy and Digital Transformation of the State," regional digital transformation programs, and the "Governor's Dashboard."

Dmitry Grigorenko emphasized that digital systems, as well as the implementation of artificial intelligence in monitoring national projects and state programs, enable a transition to a fundamentally new management model based on data and specific figures, as well as the provision of services to citizens and businesses in a format convenient for them.

Dmitry Grigorenko also noted the importance of joint work between the Government Executive Office and the Federation Council to create a regulatory framework for the development and implementation of advanced digital technologies, protecting Russia's digital sovereignty, and increasing the IT industry's contribution to the country's economy.
