Management of research and development in the Republic of Belarus is carried out according to the approved by the President and Government of the Republic of Belarus priority objectives and traditionally is based on program-targeted methods, which ensure the efficient use of resources and their concentration in key areas of work. Program-targeted methods of scientific research management have been used in Belarus for more than 30 years.
