Ukraine's austerity budget threatens Academy of Sciences reforms

As science magazine 'nature' reports, Ukraine's parliament passed a law to modernise the ailing National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) in January. Yet an austerity budget imposed around the same time makes this impossible to achieve, at least this year. The academy employs some 20,000 scientists. On 26 November, Parliament began to debate a 'law of Ukraine on scientific and technical activity', to strengthen the organisation. But before the law took effect, Ukraine passed its 2016 austerity budget, which allocates a meagre 2.05 billion hryvnia (ca. EUR 69 million) to the NASU – about 12% less than in 2015.

Among countries for which 2015 data are available, two thirds have decreased their R&D; budgets in real terms and the estimated area total has dropped by 1.3%. In a number of cases, this decline may have been mitigated through growing support through R&D; tax incentives, which have been increasing in relative importance over time.
