The scientific council of the CNRS, France’s national research centre, has called for a multi-year plan to send people the message that there is support for scientific work in France.
The council said that, as it reaches the end of its four-year mandate this year, it “considers it its duty to alert the public authorities and civil society to the dangers that the particularly dark outlook for scientific employment poses to French research”.
Figures on research funding and employment in science, along with an introductory text, were published by the council on 12 March. They appear on the website of the SNCS, a national union for scientific researchers.
