That the scientific investigation has ill-treating systematically in Spain for centuries is something that you do not need that he remembers you. A few months ago, immediately after the announcement of a dramatic clipping in the budget of I+D, an important part of the community blogosférica agreed to repeat that the Science in Spain does not need scissors. Giving for fact that in general they do not do to the citizens I do not even marry when we demonstrate, tomorrow there comes the moment to make something more than adhere to a campaign. the Federation of Investigative Young people (FJI-Precarios), the Association for the Advance of the Science and Technology in Spain (AACTE), the National Association of Investigators Ramón and Cajal (ANIRC), the National Association of Investigators Juan de la Cierva (ANIJDC), the Investigators' Association Parga Pondal (AIPP) and the National Association of Hospitable Investigators (ANIH) have summoned for tomorrow in Madrid one of the declarations in defense of the scientific investigation most important that are remembered. It comes to be the ending of what we have been experiencing in the last months, when after what seemed that it was going to be a bet shy but compromised with the science, it has been demonstrated to us that this keeps on being the country of “that invent others”. The threat in the budgetary clippings keeps on gliding on the universities and research centers and it is led by different administrations of the state at several levels; before the economic crisis he chooses to turn to the ladrillazo and not do “experiments“ with what njecesita something more than punctual enthusiasm injections with four years of expiration; the calls of scholarships and contracts pre and postdoctoral they keep on being late and every year they turn the same everlasting suspense (for not speaking about the contracts that have not been renewed in the last months); we continue without having an investigative career in strict sense and the future “law of the science”, which raises enough suspicion, he makes to suspect that in fact ad talks each other of a patch hoc extracted of the sleeve in the last moment.
It keeps on being very necessary to do little noise. The investigators we do not have it very easy because we are not a group so numerous as others. That's why, if you were of that you solidarizaste with that one of “Scissors Not”, that you know that tomorrow you need at 12:00 in the Square of Columbus.
Here you can read the manifesto, which extract has been published in Science:
“The investigation and the innovation are crucial for the development and the well-being of the society. In the context of the current crisis, the economic model of Spain is urgent to change after a sustainable economy. Nevertheless, we observe that the investment in research and development is the first “collateral damage” in the finance of the State, although only we dedicate to Investigación+Desarrollo+innovación (I+D+i) the 1 ’35 % of the GDP. A group much affected by this "snip" will be that of the applicants to enter the investigative career and, especially, that of the scientists with temporary contract, which they will see in many cases like this one is not renewed, after all his years of work, during a process of formation and continuous improving financed largely by the State, which wastes this way his investment.
The scientific sector was completely alienated of the measured anticrises, when a Plan And dedicated to the Investigation and to the scientific infrastructures it might have fulfilled the same targets that really realized and to have supposed a usable qualitative jump in the later years. The increase of the unemployment should have impelled an urgent national program of formation of investigators and technical staff and of recycling of workpeople of excessive sectors; also, it had been an excellent moment to impel the activities of I+D+i in the private sector.
The Spanish scientific system suffers from a series of structural, endemic evil, which, ideally, are parcheados in a deficient way, like the continuous change of the bureaucratic persons in charge and of the structures of management of the investigation, the absence of a fixed calendar of calls of research projects, the arbitrariness and lacking in planning in the systems of selection, promotion and stabilization of the personnel, and the paralyzation of diverse necessary legislative initiatives.
We believe that it is time to go out to the street and to demand a bet clear and decided on a society based on the investigation and the development like future props, to demand a real increase of the resources public and deprived in the sector of I+D+i, so that in the term as short as possible the European average should be equal in % of GDP, and to demand the design of an investigative career that should favor the stabilization of the investigators.
The different associations, societies, trade unions, groups and investigators below signatories we believe that it is the moment of that the whole scientific community, all together, we bet egg white and decisively for the science and the innovation in Spain.”
