October 20, MINSK . President of Belarus ALEXANDER LUKASHENKO demanded that the work of the National Academy of Sciences be subjected to the most serious analysis. The HEAD of state stated this at a meeting on the issue of improving the system of planning and monitoring the implementation of strategic projects, BELTA correspondent reports.
The head of state drew attention to the fact that over thirty years a whole network of research institutes in various fields has been formed in Belarus, the Committee on Science and Technology and the National Academy of Sciences operate. But with regard to the National Academy of Sciences, the President ordered a comprehensive audit of the work: “In winter, the Academy of Sciences must be subjected to the most serious analysis. God willing, it will be as the head of the Academy of Sciences reports to us: today they make everything - from drones to MILK powder products that they sell in CHINA . They do everything. Let's see if that's true. I mean electric cars and so on."
Continuing the conversation about the activities of Belarusian scientists, Alexander Lukashenko noted that their research , analytical work , forecasts of scientific and technological progress for decades to come, of course, are needed. “But we must admit that for some reason the real sector of the economy does not strive to use the works of scientists en masse,” the President noted. “Not all new developments reach production.” According to him, not many truly large, breakthrough projects have been created during this time.
