The Government's Strategic Program for the Development of Science for 2026–2030 plans to allocate an additional 20 billion drams for 2027. Meanwhile, the draft state budget for 2027 increases science allocations by only 1.5 billion drams compared to the budget adopted for 2026.
The draft lacks the programs outlined in the strategy. Allocations for research grants, targeted research, and scientific equipment remain unchanged. The full-year funding for several ongoing programs is also at risk.
"The Science Power" calls on the National Assembly to ensure that the funding planned for that year in the strategic program for science is included in the state budget for 2027. We demand that the government implement its adopted strategic program by funding the activities outlined therein.
