Three Years European Charter for Researchers

March 18th, 2008

On March 11, 2005, the European Charter for Researchers has been signed. Three years later, doktorat.at has asked some people about their experiences and/if something has changed.

See http://doktorat.at/Neuigkeiten/3_Jahre_Charta_fuer_Forscher_-_Die_Bilanz.html

• The science fund, for instance, changed its age limits from biological limits to academic limits, i.e., instead of “not older than 35″ to “PhD plus 10 years of experience”
• Another important point is a clear structure for (efficient) support of PhD students. I think the ReMeSe Seminar fits into this category.
• Finally, the commission thinks about a “label” for the Charter. An excellent idea!
