The Development of the Human Resource Capacity of the Federal Target Program ‘Research and Development in the Top Priority Areas of Russia’s Scientific and Technological Complex, 2007-2013’
Analysis of the quantitative and qualitative composition of the personnel directly or indirectly engaged in R&D carried out within the framework of the Program indicates that, since 2009, their numbers have begun to grow. This trend was also apparent in 2011. Among the factors behind this trend was also the fact that not only the state sector and universities, but also the private sector of the economy began to be increasingly interested in the Program. Over the course of five years since the launch of the Program, the average age of R&D personnel engaged in R&D within the framework of the Program has dropped by more than 3% on 2007.
