What's going on in Ukrainian science.

Although I had to sit with one eye on the computer, but I listened very carefully to all reports. Even once had to ask the organizers to make a remark to those who listen to interfere.
What I heard, I was delighted and perplexed. Our regional incubators have begun to rely only on themselves and not wait for handouts from the state. Even those who have access to grants, guided by the proven and successful Western models, building their own business model. Began to realize that we must focus on the business and build partnerships between businesses and business and academics. As far as I understood from the timing, it appeared some time ago and I just missed that trend. What I regret.
As a result, I put my presentation and told him what I was doing, where and what kind of experience I got. Half of the remaining participants responded to my speech with indignation, and the second half of my support. It was possible to provoke controversy, which broke off from himself and the hard time limit.
In general, I liked the event, despite his age and more academic experience, I was surprised most of the participants with adequate ideas, which I did not find during my participation in various committees Mona, the Administration and the Cabinet in 2005-2007.
Now I am again ready to invest their time, despite the fact that I felt like a stranger. I'll try to call some of the Kharkov party at your seminar on April 16.
In general, all is not lost in our science.
