来源：环球时报 【环球时报综合报道】俄罗斯科学院院长、"电子技术"优先技术方向负责人、俄罗斯"微电子"论坛方案委员会主席根纳季·克拉斯尼科夫（Gennady Krasnikov）日前接受《俄罗斯报》采访，阐述技术主权构成及为什么微电子是关键产业。 最重要的是动员内部资源。"一切靠买"的年代，基础科研与产业之间出现脱节。科研人员的导向是发表论文，企业的导向是购买国外解决方案。今天，我们 正积极恢复科研机构与高科技公司的联系。这种合作已产生效果。人工智能和量子技术是"微电子2025"论坛的热门话题。10年至15年前，两者都是未来技 术，今天，人工智能已商用，量子计算机却仍是未来，为什么会这样？ 记者：您如何评价高校和科研中心在培养微电子人才方面的作用？现在讨论的不光是人才短缺，还有教学课程落后于现实。 微电子始终受限制，早在苏联时期即如此，有过松动时期，但禁令总体上一直存在。我们进口的所有设备，都要在合同中加一条，要求供应商自行保证不违 反美国国务院禁令。限制一直很严格。以我们研究所NIIME（分子电子学科研所）为例，早在2016年就成为最早受到美国制裁的机构之一。我们是最早面对 这些困难的部门。因此，对我们专业 ...
