Europe needs more scientists
Report by the High Level Group on Increasing Human Resources for Science and Technology in Europe

This report was produced by a group of experts to identify specific actions or policy measures which, within the context of the European Research Area, could help towards the 3% goal. At the Barcelona summit, heads of state called for an increase in the proportion of European GDP invested in research from 1.9% to 3%. In terms of human resources, it was estimated that an extra half a million researchers would be needed to meet that goal.

The group conducted a review of the main factors affecting the development of human resources from the research institutions and industries employing R&D personnel, to the educational process from the secondary schools to universities, and to public opinion. An extensive consultation process forms the basis for the group's recommendations.

O Manifesto para a Ciência em Portugal, por José Mariano Gago (1990)

This manifesto is an essay.

It proposes an analysis of scientific development strategies based on the renewal of education, on the creation of scientific culture, on the rupture of Portuguese scientific isolation — isolation from abroad, but also the social and cultural, economic and political isolation of science in its own country.
