In the working-out of new organizational forms of research in science and technology, and in the implementation in everyday life of the results achieved by science, it is necessary to learn from the experience gained in the solution of various major technological problems arising in connection with the rapid growth of science and technology during recent years. This experience teaches us, I believe, that new, unorthodox approaches are necessary for the scientific solution of major technological problems in a most efficient manner. These new organizational patterns are still little known or spoken of; therefore I shall consider this matter in somewhat greater detail.
