Scientists have urged the government to check the Kurchatov Institute and the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP), an employee who allegedly fired for active citizenship. With the request made by the Council for Science of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. “Science Council calls on the Government of the Russian Federation as the founder of the Research Center” Kurchatov Institute “to verify the personnel policy in the SIC, including in terms of its compliance with the targets set by the May decrees of the President of the Russian Federation in 2012 <...> At the same time the Council refers to the administration and ITEP SIC “Kurchatov Institute” to reconsider its decision on M.P.Danilovu “- said in a statement posted on the official online the organization.
“It is incomprehensible logic of the leaders of the ITEP, dismisses the redundancy of the most active scientist who created the international reputation of the institution and among other things, providing a significant contribution to the number of top-rated scientific publications ITEP. It is natural to assume that the reason lies not in the scientific plane, and may be associated with severe civil position “, – the statement says. Council members emphasized that the scientist “has always honestly and openly, regardless of a person speaks on scientific and public concern.”
“The Council expresses its concern that the dismissal M.V.Danilova can be perceived Russian and world scientific community as an open throwback to the days when the ban on the profession was used as a tool to crack down on opponents,” – said in a statement.
It is about reducing the physicist Mikhail Danilov, who is the winner of the International Prize of the Max Planck. Physicist enters the Advisory Board at CERN – the European Organization for Nuclear Research. Danilov is also one of the most cited Russian physicists (his h-index greater than 68). The Administration indicated that the institution is no longer the places relevant to his qualification.
“Daniel made the acting chief scientist, put to work in the lab, then shut down all the jobs that he could not apply for other positions, dismantled a laboratory, and then – his most staff reduction” – presented earlier ” Gazeta.ru, “ word physicist Andrei Rostovtsev.
“So far, however, I have not been fired, I was just handed a notice that I would be fired on December 29 due to redundancy, and due to the fact that the work of my training at the Institute there. I must say that I regard it as a high recognition of my activities! Although, frankly, I’m surprised that he was a man with his qualifications, which do not need the institution, “- said he Danilov ” Moskovsky Komsomolets “.
ITEP formerly part of the state corporation “Rosatom”, and then was transferred to the Research Center “Kurchatov Institute”, which is headed by Mikhail Kovalchuk – the brother of the owner of the bank “Russia” Yury Kovalchuk. As of the publication of Radio “Liberty” , Danilov criticized changes to the ITEP and Reform Academy of Sciences.
