The following speeches and discussion were moderated by Jakob Kübarsepp and Tarmo Soomere. 
Lühemaid sõnavõtte ja arutelu modereerisid Jakob Kübarsepp ja Tarmo Soomere.
Discussions indicated a sharp discrepancy in the expectations and judgements towards the instruments for funding R&D activities from the state budget expressed by the Ministry of Education and Research and the Estonian Research Council on the one hand, and the universities and research community on the other hand. 
Joonistus välja Haridus- ja Teadusministeeriumi (HTM), ETAgi, ülikooli(de) ja teadlaskonna hinnangute lahknevus teadustegevuse riigieelarveliste meetmete küsimuses ja teaduse finantseerimise süsteemi toimimisele.
According to the (self) assessment of the Estonian Research Council and its Evaluation Committee the first round of the Call for Institutional Research Funding was ‘Good’. 
ETAgi ja selle Hindamisnõukogu (enese)hinnang IUT esimesele taotlusvooru- le on ‘hea’.
Research funding from the state budget (institutional research funding, personal research grants, baseline funding) constitutes only a fraction of the total R&D financing. 
Riigieelarveline teaduse rahastamine (IUT, personaalsed uurimistoetused, baasfinantseerimine) moodustab vaid väikese osa teadus- ja arendustegevuse finantseerimisest.
Amendment of the R&D Organisation Act underlying the particular Regulation, whereby the terms and procedures for institutional research funding were stipulated, would be of minor significance. 
Teadus- ja arendustegevuse korralduse seaduse IUT aluseks oleva määruse muutmine on väheoluline.
Possible few shortcomings, if any, could rather be associated with the Research and Development Council. 
Kui vajakajäämisi ongi, siis need on pigem Teadus- ja Arendusnõukogu (TAN) tegevuses.
The primarily quality-based scheme for funding Estonian research from the state budget had found international recognition. 
Eesti teaduse eeskätt kvaliteedile tuginev riigieelarvelise finantseerimise skeem on leidnud rahvusvahelist tunnustust.
The achievement of two opposite goals (quality of research and sustainability of R&D institutions) that satisfied all parties would be impracticable in reality. 
Kahe vastandliku eesmärgi (teaduse kvaliteet ja T&A asutuste jätkusuutlikkus) kõiki osapooli rahuldav saavutamine ei olegi võimalik.
Researchers expressed an opinion that distinct separation of the so-called strategically important applications for institutional research funding was problematic. 
Teadlaste poolt kõlas arvamus, et nn strateegiliselt oluliste IUT taotluste eristamine on problemaatiline.
The general impression was that integrated adoption/implementation of political decisions aimed at securing sustainability had failed the same way in the areas of research and higher education. 
Üldine mulje on, et jätkusuutlikkust kindlustavaid poliitilisi otsuseid nii teaduse kui kõrghariduse valdkonnas ei ole suudetud integreeritult vastu võtta/teoks teha.
Although the Ministry of Education and Research also considered the 1st round of institutional research funding applications unsuccessful and acknowledged a definite need for changes, starting with amendments to the Regulation on Institutional Research Funding (and evaluation guidelines), a significant part of researchers still interpreted the undergoing process for coordinating the Regulation of Institutional Research Funding as a simulacrum activity, distracting attention from the major shortcomings/weaknesses of the system (e.g. the utopian nature of the full cost model). 
Kuigi ka HTM hinnangul IUTde esimene taotlusvoor ei õnnestunud ning kindlasti on vajalikud muudatused, alustades IUT määruse (ja hindamisjuhendi) muutmisest, interpreteerib arvestatav osa teadlasi praegu käimas olevat IUT määruse kooskõlastamisringi asendustege- vusena, mis juhib tähelepanu süsteemi põhimõttelistelt puudustelt/nõrkustelt (nt full cost mudel utoopilisus) kõrvale.
Stability in work had vanished: it was high time to pay the salaries for January, but respective funds had not been allocated yet. 
Töörahu on kadunud: oleks juba aeg jaanuari palka maksma hakata, aga rahaeraldusi veel pole.
Other areas causing worry for researchers proved to be the workplaces, r- search career path and its attractiveness. 
Teadlaste vaatekohalt on mureks ka töökohad, teadlaskarjäär ja selle atraktiivsus.
In that context, long-term sustainable funding of research and higher education (doctoral studies in particular) from the state budget was considered a matter of utmost importance with a view to securing the survival of all areas vital for Estonia (both in research and education). 
Selles mõttes on teaduse ja kõrghariduse (eriti doktoriõpe) pikaajaline, jätkusuutlik riigieelarveline rahastamine ülioluline tagamaks kõikide Eestile oluliste valdkondade (nii teadus- kui õppevaldkondade) ellujäämise.
General discontent appeared to be an all-pervasive feeling, regardless of fairly plausible respective legislation. 
Läbivaks märksõnaks on ‘üldine rahuolematus’, hoolimata sellest, et seadused paberil paistavad kenadena.
A supporting report was presented by a member of the Evaluation Committee of the Council Professor Rainer Kattel from TUT. 
Kaasettekandega esines ETAgi hindamisnõukogu liige, TTÜ professor Rainer Kattel.
Subsequent discussions were moderated by Members of the Academy Jakob Kübarsepp and Tarmo Soomere. 
Ettekannetele järgnenud arutelu modereerisid akadeemikud Jakob Kübarsepp ja Tarmo Soomere.
Among the proposals made during discussion and thoughts presented, the following were supported by effective consensus: 
Arutelu käigus tehtud ettepanekutest ja esitatud mõtetest leidsid praktiliselt konsensusliku toetuse järgmised:
Regardless of rhetoric arguments emphasising the vital importance of R&D activities for Estonia in the next funding programming period, the currently forecast numbers of R&D funding, however, indicate an alarming decrease by approx. ¼ in the new period. 
Hoolimata retoorikast, mis rõhutab teadus- ja arendustegevuse (T&A) olulisust Eesti jaoks järgmisel struktuurifondide perioodil, näitavad praegu prognoositavad numbrid T&A finantseerimise murettekitavat vähenemist uuel perioodil ca ¼ võrra.
Science usually features both target specific (project specific) and sustainability specific researches. 
Teaduses on tavaliselt esindatud nii eesmärgipõhised (projektipõhised) kui järjepidevusepõhised uuringud.
Contrary to the rhetoric of sustainability, research funding in Estonia has actually become project specific throughout (as it was expressly said, for instance, by Rector Volli Kalm). 
Järjepidevuse retoorikast hoolimata on (nagu nt rektor Volli Kalm on avalikult tõdenud) teaduse finantseerimine Eestis kujunenud läbivalt projektipõhiseks.
This has brought about a massive volatility of the system (for example drastic withdrawal of funding for research teams, which have so far shown excellent results), which produces generally a negative impact on the whole R&D system. 
Sellega on kaasnenud süsteemi ulatuslik volatiilsus (nt seni suurepäraste tulemustega teadusrühmade rahastamise järsk lõpetamine), millel on üldiselt negatiivne mõju kogu T&A süsteemile.
The meeting suggested, as one possibility to lower volatility, to take into account more specifically the differences between areas of R&D. 
Ühe võimalusena volatiilsuse vähendamiseks soovitati hindamisel täpsemalt arvestada teadus- ja arendustegevuse valdkondadevahelisi erisusi.
Drawing on concrete examples, several speakers emphasised the quality problems when assessing the applications (among others making decisions on the basis of such criteria, which have not been indicated in the Research and Development Organisation Act, other legal acts or guidelines for assessment; assessment of institutional research applications on the basis of such aspects, which are usual in case of individual applications, absence of essential feedback, apparently incorrect assertions and conclusions contained in final reviews). 
Mitmed sõnavõtnud rõhutasid konkreetsetele näidetele tuginedes kvaliteediprobleeme taotluste hindamisel (sh otsuste tegemine selliste kriteeriumite alusel, mis ei ole märgitud ei teadus- ja arendus- korralduse seaduses, muudes õigusaktides ega ka hindamisjuhendis; IUTide hindamine selliste aspektide alusel, mis on tavapärased individuaalsete taotluste puhul, sisulise tagasisideme puudumine, lõpp- retsensioonides sisalduvad ilmselt ebaõiglased väited ja järeldused).
In view of the foregoing, it was deemed as necessary the delivery of estimates of (external) reviewers to applicants, absent whereof the institutions will find it complicated to improve their R&D quality. 
Eelnevast lähtudes peeti vajalikuks (välis)retsensentide hinnangute edastamist taotluse esitajatele, ilma milleta on asutustel keerukas oma T&A kvaliteeti parandada.
