In this webinar, Claudia S. Sarrico presents on the topic of the precarity of research careers.
The report of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Global Science Forum on 'Reducing the precarity of research careers' focuses on researchers holding fixed-term positions without permanent or continuous employment prospects.
Cláudia S. Sarrico discusses 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.
She then presents 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.
