El Duvelle@ttpphd I resonate a lot with this too!
If the overall funding is going to stay the same, I think there should be much less temporary research positions (PhD and postdocs) and much more permanent positions.
Also the requirements for a permanent position should be clear from the start, and not rely on chance-dependent factors (like getting papers in “high-impact factor” journals).
