Genetic technologies are a priority for Russia’s Scientific and Technological Development Strategy. Presidential Decree No. 680 dated 28 November 2018 on the Federal Scientific and Technical Programme for the Development of Genetic Technologies for 2019–2030 was introduced to better coordinate among the Russian genetic scientists working on state tasks for the development of genetic technologies in the country. The aim of the programme is to provide an effective approach to the problems of accelerating the development of genome editing and other genetic technologies, laying the necessary scientific and technological groundwork, improving measures in place to prevent biological emergencies, and ensuring national security. The programme has brought together a wide range of participants and support measures and provided for the creation of essential infrastructure while strengthening human resources and developing a network of scientific laboratories, world-class genetic research centres, and core facilities. Genetic technologies have been classified as cross-cutting, and the head of state has resolved to engage qualified customers, industrial partners, and the technological partner Rosneft. Up for consideration during the meeting will be five years of programme work, important achievements already reached, and priorities for what lies ahead.
