Weak Signal's description
With the drive towards autonomy, (Member States) MS appear to have few active policies to promote improved terms of employment and careers for researchers. Conditions of employment differ markedly too, with a broad split between MS where university researchers are to all intents and purposes civil servants with protected posts (jobs for life), pensions and other benefits and those where a majority of researchers are not tenured, but must work within the context of successive short-term contracts linked to specific grants.
