Title: The state of science and innovation in Russia in 2023
Abstract: In 2023, the agenda of science and innovation sector focused on solving tasks in order to ensure technological sovereignty through the creation of own development lines - from R&D to the production of new technological items. In line with this agenda, the existing programs to support scientific organizations and universities, as well as the Russian Science Foundation competitions, were adjusted. The Russian Academy of Sciences dealt with the issues of reorganization of expert work in the country, expansion of its influence in this area, and managed to strengthen mutually beneficial partnership with NRC “Kurchatov Institute”, which during the year affiliated 13 institutes previously under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. There were no significant developments in the innovation sector. Moreover, private sector expenditures on R&D have generally decreased. However, industry experts2 noted an increase in the interest of certain technology companies in investing in R&D due to the withdrawal of foreign technology suppliers from the Russian market
