UAlg Researchers Discuss Key Issues for Algarve’s science with Deputy Cristóvão Norte, Algarve’s Parliamentary Representative from PSD

-


The researchers at the University of Algarve (UAlg) presented to deputy CN three main concerns:

  • First, they highlight the precarious employment conditions of PhD researchers at UAlg, where only 3 out of 72 have permanent contracts. Additionally, many contracts are set to expire soon without prospects for renewal, putting scientific research at risk. A similar situation exists at the Centre for Marine Sciences (CCMAR), where most researchers lack stable positions.

UAlg Researchers Join National Protest to End Job Insecurity in Scientific Research

-


Researchers from the University of Algarve (UAlg) join the national demonstration for the European Researchers’ Night, protesting against job insecurity.

The group of researchers from the University of Algarve (UAlg) is raising awareness about the labor challenges they face, urgently calling for the attention of relevant authorities. These issues directly threaten the continuity of scientific research in the Algarve region.

Currently, out of the 72 PhD researchers contracted by UAlg, only three have permanent contracts. In the next six months, 32 of these contracts will expire with no prospect of permanent renewal, putting the continuity of high-quality scientific research at the institution at risk.
