Meeting with President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Gennady Krasnikov

President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Gennady Krasnikov Krasnikov GennadyPresident of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Mr President, thank you very much for finding the time to meet.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: I am glad to see you.

Gennady Krasnikov: First of all, I would like to say that we are very pleased about your decision to run for president.

Vladimir Putin: Thank you very much.

Gennady Krasnikov: We have been anticipating this for a long time. I should note that the Russian Academy of Sciences supports your decision. Please consider us part of your team.

Vladimir Putin: Thank you very much.

How is it going?

Gennady Krasnikov: Mr President, first of all, I have prepared a presentation for you. I took the one from a year ago and prepared the new one to show the progress achieved over the year. Each new page is accompanied by a slide from last year's presentation.

The first tasks we set ourselves included integrating into the state decision-making systems as quickly as possible and establishing relations with all branches of power, to ensure that the Academy of Sciences has authority…

Vladimir Putin: …and is a pillar of support.

Gennady Krasnikov: Yes, a pillar of support and the hope of the state, most importantly, thanks to its highly professional and objective expert evaluation.

What have we achieved? Firstly, we have established working relations with all branches of power and, of course, the Government and the Prime Minister.

I should note that these days, we conduct 50 percent more expert reviews, with 66 percent fewer negative reports. This has become possible because our experts are taking a more serious approach to expert reviews and ensuring that they are truly objective.

Secondly, I should mention another important aspect, which is that we now review not only science-related state assignments but also high-tech projects, including ten 'road maps' on quantum technologies, artificial intelligence, new materials, and new mobile communication systems.

To be continued.
