CERGE-EI has joined the movement against the proposed reform of state research funding,

CERGE-EI researchers have long argued that the reform, as currently proposed, is bound to shift a substantial amount of funding away from basic research to private enterprises where it may crowd out private investments and to lead to higher volumes of low-quality research at the expense of top-quality science.

Academy in Distress: See the special website of the Academy of Sciences devoted to the funding reform.

Join the petition against the proposed reform.
