​PREMIER RECOMMENDS MAS LEADERSHIP TO FOCUS ON SCIENCE

05 april, 2019

The reforming of the sector of research and innovations freed the leadership of the Moldovan Academy of Sciences from the need to engage in property administration or money distribution, thus now it is necessary to focus on the very research studies, stated Prime Minister Pavel Filip at the Thursday’s meeting with the MAS leadership and a group of scientists.

According to the Government, the main topic of discussion was the process of reforms in the field of research and innovations and next steps in this direction.

According to the premier, the reform was necessary to make focus on achievements and quality and now we can say that the MAS becomes a strategic consultant for the Government in the field of research and innovations.

“The Academy’s greatest problem was not the lack of money, but the process of their administration. If we make order in research and innovations, we will be able not just to survive, but even to develop. By means of the promoted reforms we want to save and revive the MAS to be proud of the national science”, he said, stressing the importance of ensuring harmonious development of both the fundamental and the applied science.

He spoke for strengthening of cooperation between the MAS, the country universities and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sciences.

Soon, the MAS will present a report on the state of things in the national system of research and innovations and will consult the branch ministry concerning the conclusion of the scientific research program in the nearest 4 years in accordance with country strategic development. This document will include priorities, which will be put on the basis of projects, proposed by groups of researchers.

As Infotag has already reported, according to the reform proposed by the authorities, the Moldovan Academy of Sciences was deprived on a number of functions, as some subjects will be reassigned to the Ministry of Education. The academy will no more be administrating funds, designed for conducting researches, this will be the responsibility of a new structure – the Agency for Research and Developments, which will be subjected to the Government.
