According to information provided by the Cabinet, the document confirms key elements: the Academy's charter, as well as provisions for the coordination council, which deals with fundamental and applied scientific research and innovative technologies, and the procedure for electing members of the Academy.
The document also regulates the legal status of the Academy, which in turn enhances the significance of scientific expertise. A new obligation has been introduced to prepare two reports: an annual national report on the state of science for the President and an annual report on scientific achievements for the Cabinet for the reporting period, as stated in the press release.
Moreover, the process of electing members of the Academy has been clarified: qualification requirements, age limits, and mechanisms for academic accountability have been established. Provisions for a code of ethics for Academy staff and measures to prevent conflicts of interest in scientific and administrative activities have also been introduced.
