Five leading experts in the field of coordinate-time measurements, who left the country in the 1990s, returned to Russia. This was stated in an interview with RIA Novosti by Sergey Donchenko, Director General of the All-Russian Research Institute of Physical, Technical and Radio Engineering Measurements (VNIIFTRI).

"We have increased the staff of the institute at the expense of young people, and we also managed to return from Japan, France, Germany and Italy have five leading specialists in this field who left in the 90s, but all this time remained there at the forefront of developments," he said.

According to Donchenko, the return of scientists was facilitated by the fact that in 2023 Russia became the country that made the greatest contribution to the formation of the international time scale. The scientists also returned for subjective reasons — "someone didn't work out, someone had personal reasons, someone just missed the birches and can't think of themselves outside the middle zone of Russia."

As reported by EADaily, last summer, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the program of scientific mega-grants in Russia would be significantly expanded. In particular, it is planned not only to increase the amount of funding for the program, but also to expand the number of directions, as well as to introduce a more efficient scheme for the distribution of grants.
