Measures to Improve Financing of “Megascience” Class Projects

The paper is devoted to researching the mechanism of financing “megasience” class projects, as well as the development of measures to improve financing of projects under consideration. It is determined that at present the main source of financing for the “megasience” class installations is the money allocated from the budgets of the budget system of the Russian Federation, primarily from the federal budget. At the same time, extrabudgetary funds are also envisaged at the normative level for the implementation of major scientific projects under consideration. However, the authors highlight that the mechanism for attracting extrabudgetary money to finance the scientific field has not been developed at present. On the contrary, the attractiveness of private capital involvement in financing scientific research is, indeed, not obvious. In this regard, the authors make proposals to provide preferential taxation to business entities involved in co-financing of the projects. In the authors’ view, this will have a positive impact on improving financing in general.
