Day of Belarusian Science marked today

The Day of Belarusian Science is marked on the last Sunday of January. There is practically no system of development of science in Belarus. There have been several reforms in this field during recent years, but without considerable success.  The idea of creating the so-called parallel economy from the side of science has also been raised many times. The problem is that the conditions for appearance and effective development of small innovative enterprises are not very favourable today. As for big enterprises, they don't always have finance for implementation of new elaborations.

As a result, no more than 2-3 % of agricultural and industrial products are renovated annually in Belarus, while it is necessary to renovate no less than 15% today to make the products competitive.
