The report of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Global Science Forum on 'Reducing the precarity of research careers'Ìýfocuses on researchers holding fixed-term positions without permanent or continuous employment prospects.
Cláudia S. Sarrico will discuss the main findings and insights that can be drawn from the evidence base assembled by the project and the main challenges faced by the research precariat.
SheÌýwill then present the main recommendations of the report and suggested policy options in different areas:
- improve working conditions and professional development,
- better link funding to human resource policies,
- make governance more inclusive,
- promote equal opportunities and diversity,
- improve human resource management,
- promote inter-sectoral and international mobility,
- and develop the evidence base on research careers.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in policies and practices in higher education.
