Public activities

S.A. Kudzh came up with a number of initiatives in science and higher education. According to S.A. Kudzh, the development of Russian science is impossible without big business investment: “The government faces an important task to make the economy knowledge-intensive. To change the balance of budgets towards private investment by 2035, measures must be taken now.”

S.A. Kudzh proposes combining methodological efforts of online schools and Russian technological universities. "It is obvious that there will be no mass migration from classroom education to online format... At the same time, Internet-based education is ultra-mobile and dynamic. Today in Russia, online platforms for teaching foreign languages and for corporate education have already firmly asserted themselves. Such experience needs to be transferred to other types of education, primarily focused on innovation and the future," he said in an interview to Rossiiskaya Gazeta (RG)
