The new president of the Academy of Sciences Radik Martirosyan thinks
it is pointless to carry out hasty reforms in science in Armenia,
reports the news agency ARKA. At the same time, Radik Martirosyan says
science in Armenia is facing serious challenges and needs outlooks
for reform and research. A financial reform is of prime importance
for the academy. “It is wrong to rely heavily on government funding,
new sources of funding are needed,” said Radik Martirosyan, namely
participation in various international programs.
