Such measures in relation to the university provide for a draft decree of the government of the Russian Federation, developed by the Ministry of Economic Development^[1]98275.

The document is posted on the official portal of draft regulatory legal acts. Its public discussion began on December 20, 2019 and ended on January 3, 2020 with nothing - no proposals were received for the document.

The draft resolution clarifies the rules for providing the Ministry of Economic Development with subsidies to the University 20.35.

Thus, the document clarifies, citing a specific list in the appendix to the rules, a number of results and indicators of the federal project "Personnel for the Digital Economy," some of the activities of which are being implemented by "University 20.35." Namely - those results and indicators that are aimed at achieving by the organization the result of the provision of subsidies.

Such indicators, in particular, are:
