Legal aspects of the implementation of megascience projects

The article discusses the problems of legal experts training to ensure the effective functioning of global research infrastructures (megascience projects) in the context of information-worldview security of media (including Internet communication). The activity of legal experts in the field of megascience projects implies risk management of media security within which the ranking of media waves and the prevention of illegal speech actions are carried out. The work of a legal expert in the field of media security is greatly interdisciplinary and requires exclusively developed management skills. This specialist acts precisely within the framework of information risk management coordinating and moderating the work of the organization’s structural units. A highly qualified specialist in this area, in addition to fundamental legal knowledge, should also possess creative, heuristic expert thinking, be able to analyze, generalize, screen out and differentiate incoming information in the media stream. It is vital for the objective legal-linguistic examination of defamatory, fake and extremist-terrorist discourse. The basis for the formation of such an expert thinking can be the provisions of forensic expertology as a synthetic legal science that studies the patterns of using special knowledge in legal proceedings. The developments in the field of forensic speech science (which studies speech traces of offenses in the media sphere) are particularly valuable for the training of lawyers in the field of media security. The authors consider the classification of speech offenses against media security of megascience projects and justify that legal education in the megascience field is the training of a wide-profile specialist who is able to apply deep legal and linguistic knowledge in a progressively increasing set of situations and experiences, challenges and threats to media security of megascience projects; who can easily adapt; who is ready to acquire new competencies, learn and grow, find his/her own place in a rapidly changing world.

This article is dedicated to the system of financial control of the projects of the megascience class in the Russian Federation. The author highlighted the structure of this system, defined the goal, objectives, and principles of financial control of projects of the megascience class, investigated the features of the implementation of external and internal state financial (budget) control of megascience projects. The article concludes that the priority of budget financing for megascience projects in the Russian Federation predetermines the leading role of budget control. The financial control model is also influenced by the organizational and legal form used in the implementation of megascience projects. The article demonstrates that the assignment of the functions of the operator of megascience projects to an international intergovernmental organization or a specially created organization with the distribution of shares among the countries participating in the project, allows to provide more transparency of information on the progress of its implementation in general and financing in particular. The study showed the need for wider application of independent audit control of megascience projects being implemented in the territory of the Russian Federation. Based on the results of the study, proposals were formulated aimed at increasing the efficiency of spending money in the process of implementing megascience projects and the transparency of the activities of scientific institutions with regards to the public.

The research presents the current models of financing mega science projects in the Russian Federation. The work describes the existing in the Russian Federation the system of financing projects megascience. Legal relations in the sphere of financial activities of the states-participants of the projects of the megascience class occupy one of the central places in the system of public social relations arising in the process of construction and operation of large-scale research infrastructures. Emphasizes that Megascience projects are implemented in the public interest. Thus, the main goal of their development is to conduct comprehensive scientific research and breakthrough knowledge and innovative technologies for the benefit of all mankind. Megascience projects solve quite specific problems, and in this concern there is no need for their mass construction, and the high cost makes international cooperation economically feasible in the area under consideration. Legal relations in the sphere of financial activities of the states-participants of the projects of the megascience class occupy one of the central places in the system of public social relations arising in the process of construction and operation of large-scale research infrastructures.
