Scientific and organizational problems that were identified at the stage of the creation and development of new laboratories are discussed. The disintegration and high specialization of institutes at the initial stage of the creation of laboratories affected the speed and quality of the decisions. The selection of young professionals and their employment in the institutions in the shortest possible time in 2018 was the main requirement for obtaining additional funding. At the beginning of 2019, for most organizations, the main problems of a mainly technical nature were the updating of research plans for 2019, taking into account additional budget works opened for new laboratories.
