The TAS scientists made significant contribution to the development of the program “Productive Power and Economics of Location in the Republic of Tatarstan in terms of the Cluster Approach” scheduled to 2020 and 2030.

By request of the republican authorities the scientific center launched a number of sectoral programs and strategies for socio-economic development. They provided scientific support in designing the trajectory of the route for a new international motor transport corridor “Baltic-China”. The evaluation concepts of building the Russian part of the corridor “Saint Petersburg-Kazakhstan” was approved by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation. The economists of the republic take an active part in the development of the project on creating the Volga Multimodal Logistic Center in Sviyazhsk which has federal importance.

In the field of political studies the economists of the republic classified the kinds of ethno federation. They studied the peculiarities of different forms of the phenomenon. Among the legal projects they presented methods for calculating the extent of damage to the environment caused by the ecological offences.
The psychological and pedagogical trend of investigations was noted with creating the test linguistic processor of question-answer texts in Tatar with total localization of OS Windows Vista and its Office applications.
