Out in the interest of science

– If I become president of the Academy, I will restore the position of the statute under which policymakers Academy can not remain in office more than two terms – said the fort. – Be sure to be rotated, if only because, in a rotational system is very difficult to organize the corruption schemes.
he regrets that the age restriction was lifted, according to which people over 70 years old could not hold high positions in the academy.
– But here is more complicated – he says. – There lost time and actually left who could replace the chiefs who turned 70-year milestone.
The rejection of the current presidentSciences Yuri Osipov, he commented as follows:
– As soon as the date of the election became known, I immediately went to Yuri Sergeyevich talk about it. And then he said firmly: “I will not stand for election!»
And it can be understood – so many years of living in such suspense …
«RAS need five years of active, energetic work»
Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences endorsed four candidates for president of the academy. “Times” tried to find the balance of power for the … ?
Osipova he said warmly, said Yuri did a lot for the academy, too, though, going into the transcript of the “many”. About the competitors also speaks respectfully.

«My staff all speak English»
The need for reform of the RAS, about whether a scientist to know English, and how science can help the Russian energy sector, in an interview, “the Newspaper” … ?
Forts also going to deal with the bureaucracy. Talking about a huge tree useless, illogical market going “above and below” and deprives the researchers before half-time.

On the question of “Gazety.Ru” about what he was going to take in respect of competitive funding in the academy, if it becomes its president, Forte said it will “reinforce”, emphasizing on the case where more than finance. Vladimir E. also believes it is important to protect the tenders from the officials.
– And it’s not just our problem – he said. – Speaking of contests ministry, I immediately think of Viktor Chernomyrdin.
