Spanish science doesn't need scissors
07-Oct-2009
Still with the generalized indignation feeling because of the R&D budget cut
proposed by the Spanish Government (see
Post 22),
today lots of Spanish researchers have agreed to post about this misfortune
following the initiative
La ciencia espanola no necesita tijeras.
As it was stated in yesterday's evening news, in the past five years the R&D budget has
been one of the main concerns of the Government. This policy has enabled great advances
to be achieved in Spain, which in turn has increased the attractiveness to come
here for research purposes. If now the policy changes, what's most sensible to
believe is that the attractiveness will begin to decrease at alarming rate.
It is ridiculous that all the effort this country has made may be crumbled by such
a proposal without any great expectations.
"If you think that research and education are expensive, try with ignorance and
mediocrity." (Joan Guinovart)
