“As a minister – who, even from a professional point of view, I think I have a very good understanding of scientific research – I approach things seriously and systematically. In the QX ratio there is a transparent diagnosis of the CDI system and clear proposals, which come to meet many concerns that I see in the public space. In synthesis, as the international evaluators observe, that our CDI system suffers from fragmentation (in too many CDI units, some too small, without a good coordination between them), of an insufficient human resource (we have the least researchers in the countries of the European Union) and, at times, with a “mindset” and insufficient and insufficient. unpredictable, which affects its performance”, The Minister of Education, Daniel David, said in a press release sent on Tuesday, writes News.

There Healthy in which we will then be able to implement healthy specific mechanisms (some already proposed in the QX report). Meanwhile we implement important aspects From the QX report, such as those related to the accentuation of the distribution of funds by competition (in relation to the direct allocations), to encourage academic concentrations, pay attention to the most efficient and transparent competitions (eg by involving the top international experts in transparent procedures), the optimization of the relationship between ethics and legal (so that the legal), concluded the minister.
