Years ago we heard that it is essential to the production model change in our country. Before, during and after the crisis. We are hoping to start that change, but politicians on one side and another, from near and far, projects are scored successes do not know. This is the feeling that most s WE ARE have. For nothing.

To change this state of things, the mainstay is the research and investment in R + D + I. But now when most needed, cutbacks in R & D & I have been intensified, as indicated Joan Guinovart, President of the Confederation Scientific Association of Spain (COSCE), in "On the Shoulders of Giants", the popular science program, RNE. Specifically, the budget for R + D + I for 2011 has been reduced by 7.38%, the there is added the effect of inflation, which leaves a 10% drop. Just when the Government tells us that innovation is going to be what we make out with more strength and speed of the current economic crisis. Nonsense impossible to understand.

This budget reduction is what is prompting many brilliant English researchers are leaving the country have been trained to go abroad because Spain can not offer a solution for the future, beyond a scholarship after another (at best) and planted with forty-odd years without any insurance.

This disturbing and alarming situation was also discussed last week in "On the Shoulders of Giants" by three researchers English. The discussion covered several important topics:

-Lack of investment in R + D + I, both state and, above all, by private companies (which recorded the lowest rates European Union).

-The low recognition received a doctorate degree in Spain.

-that the English investigators, if they stay in our country, only aspire to be university professor or researcher at the CSIC, and is not seen as a professional private enterprise creation.

-The low valuation that society has of science, reflected in declining university enrollments in Science.

This shows a very precarious situation of science and, in general, of our country. Which should make us think about what you are doing and change course to be given.

From libraries, to the extent that we can (Through activities and through partnerships with institutions and scientific associations) we must try to promote scientific thinking and the work of science. From libraries, as traditional repositories of human knowledge, it has to defend science, as opposed to frivolous and disturbingly unscientific air from many media.
