Russia needs to create conditions for the work of scientists in order to withstand their departure abroad and the loss of scientific personnel, said the President of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) Alexander Sergeyev at a press conference on Monday.
“The collective West behaves quite actively, and this will have to be resisted. The question is, how to resist? It is clear that there is culture, there is patriotism, native graves, but the scientist pulls where he can do his job. And if he is interesting. And if We will not create conditions now that it would be more comfortable and interesting to work, there will be losses, and very strong, ”Sergeev quotes Interfax.
He noted that decisions have already been made in a number of countries to attract Russian scientists and their employment: “Biden opened his arms to a Russian scientist, please come (in the USA), especially in critical areas, you will be employed. And somewhere somewhere. Two weeks ago, I read that our friendly Finland, joining NATO, also accepted the program of open hugs for our scientists. And the task was also set to drag our scientists, especially since we have close scientific relations. The actual question that is now standing is now. The issue of preserving the personnel potential of the Academy of Sciences “.
