Write a proposal by end of
January
Submit to NFMB

Then the verdict
Have a 15%
chance ofobtaining 50% of
what you asked
for by January

This is how science is
treated in many a country
Loss of momentum
Loss of know-how
Waste of talent Burn-out
Killing of creativity and originality
Praise and honors for the best lobbyists
8/13/2019 ETRO Yearly Meeting 2012
15/49
How then should we
proceed? A suggestion
Funding comes with the job
Funding gradually increases after positive
evaluation
Funding gradually decreases after unfavorableevaluation
Bonuses for national collaboration
Bonuses for international collaboration Projects are the exception, only for setting up a
larger effort requiring high cost equipment

Flemish universities are largely
subsidized by the Flemish
Community
But according to which parameters?

We are the most inefficient
research community of all
This must change!
Even in my ideal funding comes with the
job scenario, we might not survive
regular evaluation based on originality
rather than paper output and our budget
would go down
We lose approximately a yearly 75,000
of basic VUB funding because of our lack
of output

Education
Quality Monitoring
High quality teaching takes time but attracts students
More students =
Necessary condition to keep masters (and VUB) alive !
Better recruitment for masters thesis's and new researchers
Quality is monitored by DOE: Feedback is key to improvement
Results communicated to ZAP
Feedback too AAP and BAP
is responsibility of ZAP
Yearly recurrent criticisms should
be taken very seriously!
In ETRO, evaluations are collected by education coordinator and can
be consulted by concerned AAP & BAP.
