«The current situation encourages us to work independently in many areas, including the production of our own scientific instrument base. The state has done so before the current acute events and will continue to do so. Grants are given to institutions that purchase domestic instruments for scientific research. Last year, such grants were given to institutions that purchased at least 10% of all equipment purchased domestically for scientific research. This year the figure is 15%. We will continue to increase this percentage to encourage customers to buy domestically produced equipment», the President noted.
