Strategic Planning and Science Management: Legal and Regulatory Dimensions
Pavilion F, conference hall F20 (2nd floor)
The foundations of a state’s long-term sustainable development depend on the ability of its scientific, technological, and industrial sectors to create cutting-edge solutions and produce knowledge-intensive products for the economy and social sphere. The concept of technological leadership, outlined in presidential decrees and directives, requires a legal and regulatory framework that enables scientific potential to thrive, breakthrough solutions to emerge, and innovations to be implemented across both the public and private sectors, while ensuring competitiveness in global markets. What should the legal and regulatory landscape for technological leadership look like? What are the prospects for developing legislation on science and R&D? What regulatory barriers need to be removed to implement research results? Which legal mechanisms most effectively incentivize cooperation between business and science?
