"Russia ranks eighth in spending on research and development and sixth in the number of researchers," he said. According to him, over five years, universities participating in Priority 2030 attracted almost 320 billion rubles from local businesses and enterprises. "These are 141 universities and more than 280 projects. Another tool is advanced engineering schools. For the country's ruble - almost 3 rubles from businesses, the contribution from businesses is about 60 billion rubles. We already have 50 such schools, on behalf of the head of state, there will be 100 of them," said the deputy prime minister.
