Scientific and medical societies demand greater R&D investment from the future Government
Published
The main scientific and medical organizations in Spain, represented by COSCE and FACME, have made an urgent appeal to the next Government. These entities are requesting a significant increase in the investment allocated to Research and Development (R&D) to ensure the country's technological and healthcare progress.
The main objective of this request is to strengthen the Spanish Science, Technology and Innovation System (SECTI). According to the societies, it is essential that the State guarantees stable and constant funding, preventing research projects from suffering cuts or interruptions due to political or economic changes.
To achieve this progress, experts have presented five key measures. Among them, they highlight the improvement of working conditions for researchers, the reduction of bureaucracy in project management, and the increase in grants to attract and retain young talent in Spanish laboratories.
The organizations emphasize that science is a fundamental pillar for the well-being of Spanish society. They argue that greater investment not only improves the country's competitiveness at an international level but also allows for the development of faster and more effective solutions to public health and sustainability challenges.
In conclusion, the scientific community expects the new Executive to prioritize these demands on its political agenda. The Government's response will be decisive in defining the future of research in Spain and its ability to lead scientific projects of global relevance in the coming years.
