A few days ago I submitted an EU grant proposal. 👷🏼‍♀️👩🏼‍🎓💪🏻… the ones who did. that before know how much work that is. 😥 I‘ve put more work than ever before and submitted days before the Deadline. Why? My career in academia may depend on it… #EU @unisalzburg.bsky.social @jessfortin-ritt.bsky.social

About a year ago we published a paper on the topic proposing similar reforms and discussing the underlying problems. See: www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandg...
