The Russian Academy of Sciences has produced a draft charter in an attempt to define its future role.
The charter, drawn up by academy members at a meeting held last month, was released for consultation on 7 March.
It would make the presidents of the academies of medical and agricultural sciences, which were merged with the RAS as part of last year’s controversial reforms, vice-presidents of the institution. They would take up their roles after the first general meeting since the reforms were confirmed. Dates for the meeting are yet to be announced.
