The head of the National Agency for Science, Innovations and Informatization, academician of the National Academy of Sciences Volodymyr Semynozhenko views crucial to gather top brains of Ukraine targeting to create the National Strategy of development of the country Ukraine-2020.

“To my strong conviction it is crucial now to elaborate a thorough Strategy of the development of Ukraine up to 2020 and suggest a roadmap for the society to renew the country. We must attract the best specialists to this process. The nation just needs all top brains we have. Cool heads,” V. Semynozhenko announced.

In particular, the document must contain two principal sections, the head of the National Agency for Science, Innovations and Informatization said. According to him, the first section must envisage creating a new innovation policy. Presently, the potential of resource economy has been exhausted in full, so such economy isn’t just capable to grow any longer, he explained.  

At this, the second section must suggest solving the problem of integration of Ukrainian society, as splitting it off on territorial, ideological, confessional grounds has reached a threatening scale.

Volodymyr Semynozhenko emphasized that it would be the second redaction of the strategy of Ukraine’s development. “Back in 2007 a draft National Strategy of Ukraine’s development through 2015 was elaborated with participation of a wide circle of most respected social and political figures, both national and international experts-economists with support of public political association the Ukrainian forum, but unfortunately this document wasn’t approved. I consider we are observing the phenomena through the absence of such strategy,” the academician of NAS of Ukraine stated.
