Members of the Science Council under the Ministry of Education and Science were asked four questions: 1. “What do you dream about as a scientist, author of books and articles, as an educator?” 2. “Doesn’t your work in the Science Council seem like a Sisyphean task to you?..” 3. “What scientific projects inspire you most now?..” 4. “... Do you perceive yourself as representatives, a kind of delegates from everything scientific community or exclusively as “the best among the best”?” We publish the responses received.
