The Charter for Science group, bringing together scientific societies, university presidents and labor unions, require a shift in government policy in R + D + i on the grounds that the tough budget cuts and delays of calls for human resources deteriorating "our public R + D + i, causing damage costing heal decades and forced exile forcing many young researchers and technologists." They add that it "prevents the output of the economic crisis, which should be based on a production model supported by the R & D + i". Therefore, concentrations have called for next Wednesday in several Spanish cities Confederation of Associations of Spain COSCE), The University Rectors' Conference of Spain (CRUE), the CCOO and UGT trade unions, the Federation of Young Researchers / precarious and the National Association of Researchers Ramón y Cajal.
Public funding of R & D + i has accumulated a cut of 31% in the past two years and a 38.67% since 2009, says the group, recalling that, according to the National Statistics Institute, in 2011 Spanish spending on R & D fell to 1.33% of GDP, breaking the previous upward trend culminating in 2010 with 1.39%. That means that Spain, rather than closer, away from the European average, which is 2%. Moreover, the relative weight of the R & D in the state budget has also declined.
"The current government is committed to reducing public input in R & D + i, leading to the collapse of our current system of science and technology. Just look at that public funding of R & D + i has accumulated a cut of 31% in the last two years, and 38.67% from 2009, "said the group by Science Letter. "The budget for public research organizations (PROs) has been reduced by 30% in the past four years, placing the CSIC emblematic institutions in a very serious situation that affects their economic viability," he adds.
In addition to budget cuts, have become serious delays and cuts in the scientific and human resources. The last call for fundamental research projects was made in December 2011, and now, a year later, still pending final resolution. The next call will not be until March of next year, so that these deadlines dilated the Ministry of Research, Development and Innovation can save, in fact, the call for a year. This is what has happened, for example with Ramon y Cajal contracts, which this year will not be signed either. In 2013, the program will reduce training places to research staff, postdoctoral aid disappear and CSIC JAE has suspended its program.
"Meanwhile, the ministry is launched to disseminate legislative projects: The State of Research, Spanish Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation and the State Research Plan, based on hasty documents with serious memory impairments and without allowing any financial its implementation, "continues the Charter movement for science in its manifesto. "This policy is not changed, the damage to our public R + D + i will be irreparable, destroying what has been built on decades of effort." All this is "seriously affect the future of the Spanish economy, for our future, progress and welfare of the public are based on the I + D + i, as in the whole of Europe."
The group has organized a rally in Madrid on Wednesday, at 13.30, compared with the Faculty of Medicine of the Complutense University. Then movement representatives delivered the statement Prime Minister. Concentrations have also been called, for now, in Barcelona, Seville, Granada, Santiago, Santiago de Compostela, Valencia, Murcia and Las Palmas.
