Formation of competitiveness of the industry of Russian children's surgery on the international arena

The article discusses the current state, key problems and prospects for the integration of the national pediatric surgery industry into the global innovation space. The author has formed the fundamental paths for the modernization of scientific activities in the field of pediatric surgery, which contribute to the creation of competitive advantages in this industry. As a primary task in the context of a shortage of financial resources, the author highlights the need for the state to create and ensure effective mechanisms for the functioning of scientific and educational clusters that will unite research teams specializing in pediatric surgery to solve identical problems. In order to present dissertations on pediatric surgery, the author proposes to develop an electronic thesis bank on the website of the Russian Association of Pediatric Surgeons (RADH). It is also noted that the state should form the conditions for mass and systematic departure of highly competent and promising pediatric surgeons to international congresses, carry out effective activities aimed at developing cooperation with the EUPSA leadership and participation in the work of its committees. Finally, it is proposed to conduct international scientific conferences, research, grants and the exchange of specialists in Russia on a systematic basis.
