UNCLASSIFIED Russian Federation’s competitive advantages, the country’s defense, and state and public security, and also the shaping of scientific and technical groundwork for the future; -- the enhancement of social mobility, of the quality of general, vocational, and higher education, and of its availability to all categories of citizens, and also the development of basic scientific research. 68. Factors that have a negative influence on national security in the spheres of science, technologies, and education are laggardness in the development of high technologies, dependence on imported supplies of scientific and test equipment, instruments and electronic components, computer software and hardware, and strategic materials, the unsanctioned transfer abroad of competitive Russian technologies, unsubstantiated unilateral sanctions against Russian scientific and educational organizations, insufficient development of the normative-legal base, an ineffective system for encouraging activity in the spheres of science, innovations, and industrial technologies, and the decline in the prestige of the professions of teacher and engineer, in the level of social protection for engineering-technical, professorial-teaching, and scientificpedagogical personnel, and in the quality of general and secondary vocational and higher education. 69. One of the main areas for ensuring national security in the spheres of science, technologies, and education is the raising of the level of technological security, including in the information sphere. To this end the state innovation and industrial policy, the federal contract system, and the system of the state order for training highly qualified specialists and workers are being improved, basic and applied science and education are receiving priority development, public-private partnership is being developed in the sphere of science and technologies, conditions are being created for the integration of science, education, and industry, and systemic research is being conducted in the interests of resolving the strategic tasks of military, state, and public security and of the country’s stable development. 70. To resolve the tasks of national security in the spheres of science, technologies, and education it is necessary to ensure: -- the comprehensive development of scientific potential and the reinstatement of the complete scientific production cycle, ranging from basic scientific research to the introduction of the achievements of applied science into production in accordance with the priorities of the Russian Federation’s socioeconomic, scientific, and scientific-technological development; -- the development of a national innovation system and encouragement and support for the development of the innovations market and science-intensive output, including science-intensive output with high added value; -- the formation of a system of basic and applied scientific research and state support for it in the interests of organizational-scientific support for the realization of strategic national priorities; UNCLASSIFIED
