Priorities for future innovation: Russian S&T Foresight 2030

Cluster Strategies in Russia and France: Common Objectives, Specific Paths

“…The Law is complemented by the S&T Foresight 2030, a fullyfledged study targeted at the identification of the most promising areas of S&T development in Russia towards 2030 to ensure the realization of the nation's competitive advantage (Sokolov and Chulok, 2014). As highlighted by Sokolov and Chulok (2016), in the last decade, the Russian STI policies have undergone significant changes primarily related to the coverage of actors concerned and the spectrum of the instruments used: support to the national research centers and research universities, cooperation of academic institutions with industrial enterprises and companies, recruitment of leading foreign scholars to Russian universities, development of the innovation infrastructure at the academic institutions, forming programs of innovation development for large state-owned companies, technological platforms, innovation territorial clusters creating a set of development institutions.…”

“…The project combined the "technology push" and "market pull" approaches, and covered seven major S&T areas: information and communication technologies; biotechnology; medicine and health; new materials and nanotechnology; efficient environment management; transport and space systems; energy efficiency and energy saving. A wide range of analytical and expert-based techniques were applied in the course of the study, including interviews, expert surveys, and expert panel discussions [Sokolov, Chulok, 2016].…”

“…Most of the developed and developing nations, including BRICS countries, have been devoting considerable attention to S&T priority setting for quite a while now, since such priorities serve as a basis for their science, technology, and innovation (STI) policies Pouris, Raphasha, 2015]. Relevant efforts are mainly focused on solving strategic socio-economic problems, and making efficient use of national competitive advantages [OECD, 2012European Forum on Forward Looking Activities, 2015;Meissner et al, 2013;Shashnov, Poznyak 2011;Sokolov, Chulok, 2016]. S&T priorities are currently being set through a comprehensive assessment of their possible contribution to achieving sustainable socio-economic development, and strengthening the country's competitiveness.…”

Dix ans de politique industrielle en Russie

“…La stratégie pour la Science, la Technologie et l'Innovation (STI) russe a tout d'abord connu des changements importants en ce qui concerne les acteurs impliqués et l'éventail des instruments utilisés (Sokolov et Chulok, 2016) : aide à la recherche dans les instituts et les universités, coopération des institutions académiques avec les entreprises industrielles publiques ou privées, recrutement de chercheurs étrangers de premier plan dans les universités, développement d'infrastructures dédiées à l'innovation dans les institutions académiques, définition de programmes dédiés à l'innovation dans les grandes entreprises publiques, plateformes technologiques, soutiens aux clusters innovants… La Prospective Horizon 2030 a également mobilisé d'importantes ressources que ce soit au niveau industriel ou scientifique ; la synthèse des recommandations présentée ci-dessous est en fait le résultat d'une série d'études prospectives russes et internationales, de panels, de conférences, réunissant environ 700 experts nationaux et internationaux tous impliqués dans l'identification et la sélection des domaines prioritaires. La Prospective 2030 se compose ainsi de sept sections 40 , chacune étant dédiée au domaine S&T retenu (TIC, Biotechnologies, Médecine et santé, Nouveaux matériaux et nanotechnologies, Environnement, Transport, Énergie) et fixant les objectifs à atteindre tous les cinq ans (Sokolov et al, 2013).…”
