The specialists who had previously left Russia are gradually returning to the country, said the chairman of the Skolkovo Foundation, Arkady Dvorkovich.
According to him, this mainly concerns those specialists who have left for European countries or the United States.
Dvorkovich said that it is possible to attract foreign or former Russian specialists to the Russian market primarily thanks to the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech).
There, according to the Chairman of the Skolkovo Foundation, about 40% of all professors are foreign specialists, and about half of the rest returned to Russia from abroad.
“This is an excellent channel for colleagues to return to Russia. I can say that more came to us than left – this is absolutely certain. We are trying to do the same at regional sites, “RIA Novosti quoted Dvorkovich as saying on February 17.
In October 2020, Russian IT companies criticized experts at the Skolkovo Technopark for agitating startups to move to Ukraine, Poland, Latvia or Lithuania.
