Naukograd
Naukograd ( Russian наукогра́д , literally " City of Science") is a status in Russia that currently has around 70 places officially or unofficially. A Naukograd is characterized by the high concentration of scientific research and / or production facilities in its field.
general description
Naukograd as an independent term arose in the early 1990s with the establishment of a non-profit association in the city of Zhukovsky for the promotion and development of science locations. Today this association is called the Association for the Development of the Naukograds of Russia ( Союз развития наукоградов России ) and houses around 70 cities, urban-type settlements , districts and rural towns under its patronage . Since the adoption of the Federal Law “On the Status of a Naukograd” on April 7, 1999, the Naukograd status is officially granted for a limited period by the government of the Russian Federation to a place that meets certain criteria . According to Article 8 of this law, Naukograds are entitled to state subsidies to promote their scientific facilities and the associated infrastructure. In 2008 a total of 14 cities had this status under the Naukograd Law, nine of which were in Moscow Oblast .
All Naukograds have in common the high specialization of the urban economy in research and development . According to the law, a place must produce at least 50% of its entire economic output in the scientific and technical field in order to be able to receive the status, and at least 15% of the workforce must be employed in local organizations in the scientific sector. In general, such cities get the Naukograd status in which research in particular as forward-looking and strategically important classified fields is operated so including in nuclear engineering , aviation and aerospace , chemistry or biotechnology .
