Abstract

Analizamos los principales problemas burocráticos y económicos de la investigación científica en las universidades españolas, comparando la situación de menor apoyo a las áreas de Economía y Otras Ciencias Sociales en comparación con las áreas experimentales. También comparamos las universidades españolas con las de otros países de la OCDE, constando un mayor nivel de insatisfacción laboral y dificultades en el caso de España. Destacamos manifestaciones promovidas, en favor de la I+D, por destacadas Asociaciones Científicas, y otras instituciones, en el período 2003-2018, con un apoyo generalizado al incremento de la financiación, a la simplificación burocrática y a un mayor protagonismo de la Ciencia frente al exceso de poder de las Administraciones Públicas (en España, sus Comunidades Autónomas y Unión Europea). También mencionamos otros problemas que requieren una atención urgente: 1) Aumentar el apoyo, no sólo a las Ciencias Experimentales sino también a las Ciencias Sociales y a otras áreas, especialmente cuando contribuyen al desarrollo e y calidad de vida. 2) Apoyar a toda la investigación de calidad suficiente e interés social, y evitar que en nombre de la "excelencia" se apliquen criterios burocráticos inadecuados que perjudican a muchos equipos de calidad. 3) Promover la comunicación entre las Asociaciones Científicas y los representantes políticos, en busca de apoyo parlamentario frente a los obstáculos burocráticos. 4) Promover la transferencia y comunicación social de la investigación, especialmente en temas de interés general para el desarrollo, a través de libros electrónicos, videos, televisión prensa y otros medios. 5) Permitir que los Sindicatos de profesores puedan intervenir en apoyo de los investigadores cuando los obstáculos burocráticos generan un deterior del ambiente laboral en las universidades y una indefensión de las personas afectadas. We analyze the main bureaucratic and economic problems of scientific research in Spanish universities, comparing the situation of less support to the areas of Economics and Other Social Sciences compared to the Experimental Sciences areas. We also compared Spanish universities with those of other OECD countries, showing a higher level of job dissatisfaction and difficulties in the case of Spain. We emphasize promoted manifestations, in favor of R & D, by outstanding Scientific Associations, and other institutions, in the period 2003-2018, with a generalized support to the increase of the financing, the diminution of bureaucratic problems, and to a greater protagonism of the Science in front of to the excess of power of the Public Administrations (in Spain, its Autonomous Communities and European Union). We also mention other problems that require urgent attention: 1) Increase support, not only to Experimental Sciences but also to Social Sciences and other areas, especially when they contribute to the development and quality of life. 2) Support all research of sufficient quality and social interest, and avoid that in the name of "excellence" inadequate bureaucratic criteria are applied that harm many quality teams. 3) Promote communication between the Scientific Associations and political representatives, in search of parliamentary support in the face of bureaucratic obstacles. 4) Promote the transfer and social communication of research, especially in topics of general interest for development, through electronic books, videos, television press and other media. 5) Allow the Teachers' Unions to intervene in support of the researchers when the bureaucratic obstacles generate a deterioration of the work environment in the universities and a defenselessness of the affected people. The Document includes an Annex in English.
