3.1: Strategic Measures

Encourage those who have pursued a research-oriented education to continue on as practicing researchers.

Other Information:

The Research Council wishes to encourage those who have pursued a research-oriented education to continue on as practicing researchers. Thus, it is important to make every effort to facilitate the transition from educational to occupational activity. The Research Council has drafted a national strategy for strengthening basic research in mathematics, science and technology subjects. The ability to create a competitive industrial sector is contingent on the availability of highly trained candidates in these fields. Key measures outlined in the strategy include promoting greater interest in the science subjects among children, adolescents and teachers; further developing systems for recruitment at all levels of the research system and increasing the number of women researchers in particular, and providing a sound economic framework for specially qualified research groups.
