Abstract

This study is devoted to identifying typical problems in the field of scientific equipment procurement in the interests of core shared research facilities and large-scale research facilities and developing approaches to their solution. The paper provides an analysis on the practice of purchasing scientific equipment, conducted on the basis of statistical data obtained from representatives of core shared research facilities and large-scale research facilities that received governmental support in 2019-2021, as well as on the data of a sociological survey. As a result, the hypotheses put forward by the authors about the predominance of foreign-made scientific equipment in the procurement structure, about the decrease in the average cost of purchased equipment in 2019-2021, about the presence of significant unevenness of scientific equipment by subclasses in the procurement structure of scientific equipment, about the presence of similar organizational problems in the field of procurement of scientific equipment. The article suggests a number of approaches to solving the identified problems arising from the formulations of 4 proven hypotheses.
