By Plenary Sessions: Margit Sutrop

The style is formal, respectful, and strongly analytical, relying on logical arguments and academic sources (Jüri Allik, Marek Tamm). The speaker balances recognition (maintaining the 1% agreement) with concerns and criticism (MKM duplication, academic succession). The tone is expert and convincing, emphasizing, with the aid of data, the top achievements of Estonian science alongside systemic problems.

The style is analytical and respectful, yet simultaneously urgent in its emphasis on the need for reforms ("Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work!"). It employs a balanced approach, utilizing both logical arguments (demographics, workload) and cultural references (Hando Runnel, Pärt Uusberg, historical examples). The address is formal, incorporating personal anecdotes (such as the school near the speaker's country home) to illustrate political viewpoints.
