The practical value of this Decision is substantial, as it aims to enhance transparency, reduce complexities, and accelerate administrative processes within the science and technology sector. By providing a clear and simplified framework, it encourages greater participation in scientific endeavors and facilitates the recognition of innovative contributions, ultimately bolstering the national innovation ecosystem.
