Abstract

The article considers scientific awards as a tool for popularizing the profession of a scientist and stimulating applied and fundamental research. We highlight the interrelation of the TRL concept and research financing and the business community special role in the establishment of scientific awards to increase the domestic researchers’ activity. We describe structure of national scientific awards, considering its goals, scientific fields, sources of funding and age restrictions for nominees. We determine the place of the «Vyzov» prize for future technologies, established in 2023, in the existing landscape of scientific awards as a tool for developing technological potential. The indicators of the first «Vyzov» prize presentation are analyzed in the context of attracting public attention to the achievements of domestic scientists and scientific research results. We determine that public and private investments in form of modern scientific awards are aimed not only to covering current technological needs with scientists development results, but also to create a technological and scientific groundwork for future possibility of achieving an advantage in the global stage.

Keywords: scientific community, scientific awards, applied and fundamental research, public-private partnership, innovation development.
