Improving the System of Motivation of Young Scientists for Active Scientific Work: Based on the Materials of the Round Table Within the Framework of the II Baikal Law Forum
The issues of improving the system of motivation of young scientists for active scientific activity have not lost their relevance for many years. Generations of researchers and external conditions are changing, the digitalization of society is in full swing, and all these require additional researches on the content and functional motivation of younger generations. The article explores methods for measuring the motivation of young researchers to engage in science according to Russian and foreign publications. The results of the discussion of this topic at the round table «The system of motivation of young scientists for active scientific activity» held on September 25, 2021 as part of the II Baikal Law Forum, where young scientists discussed scientific problems and motivation systems of universities in the Irkutsk region, are presented. The directions for improving the system of organization of research work of young scientists at Baikal State University are substantiated. The suggested areas are designed to develop creative thinking, «soft skills», the ability to solve non-standard problems, build competent management systems, shape a person, asserting the principles of morality and morality, responsibility for oneself, loved ones, for the quality of one's work, and the future. In our opinion, many of these skills and abilities are successfully formed precisely when conducting a scientific research in the learning process and in independent scientific activity. It has been proven in practice that the experience of participation in a research work gives competitive advantages in building a career not only in the academic field, but also in other market sectors.
