Analysis of staffing and productivity of the Russian Arctic science and science in the Arctic in the light of modern challenges
Abstract
The relevance of the research topic is due to the need for scientific and technological support for the development of the Arctic, which, in turn, will require a sufficient number of qualified personnel. The purpose of the work is to assess how currently the Russian Arctic is ready to meet the challenges of import substitution and the complication of the international situation in terms of its personnel, financial equipment, productivity, industry structure, state and potential for international cooperation. Approaches methods. The main approach is to assess the level of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of staffing and the effectiveness of science in the Arctic and Arctic regions and regions of Russia, as well as Arctic research in Russia as a whole by comparing these indicators with the national and international levels. As a criterion for the success of individual research areas, the contribution of international scientific and technical cooperation to the publication activity of scientists was studied. The main results. An analysis of the totality of indicators of postgraduate and doctoral studies, the number and proportion of people employed in research and development, the relative internal costs of research and development, the number of advanced production technologies developed and used, and the results of scientific activities reflected showed that at present and in the current trend, staffing the scientific process in the Russian Arctic looks in comparison with the national level insufficient to ensure successful socio-economic development of the region but. The productivity of Russian Arctic research is still inferior to that of the United States and Norway. The share of scientific products directly devoted to the Arctic in the total volume of Russian fundamental and applied research is also inferior to the share of the Russian Arctic in the population of Russia and the share of the Russian Arctic in Russian GDP. The opportunities for cooperation with other non-Arctic countries in the study of the region are poorly used. Scientific novelty. For the first time, a comprehensive analysis of the state and dynamics of staffing and the effectiveness of Russian science in the Russian Arctic, the effectiveness of the development of research in the Arctic and Arctic research in Russia in the light of modern challenges, in international and inter-regional comparisons is carried out. For the first time, the level of international scientific and technical cooperation between the Arctic and Arctic regions of Russia is examined in detail. Practical significance. Directions for further research. Recommendations It is proposed to include in the program documents of the development of the Russian Arctic the provision of a level of development of science that corresponds to the strategic objectives of the development of regions and the prospective structure of their economy. It is proposed to focus efforts on the development of international scientific and technical cooperation in the areas of greatest demand for scientific results.
