Del Colectivo Carta por la Ciencia: situación de la ciencia española.
A continuación se reproduce un mensaje del Colectivo Carta por la Ciencia agradeciendo las iniciativas populares, como los actos y manifestaciones del pasado 14 de junio (a continuación una foto del abarrotado salón de actos de la sede central del CSIC). También se incluye información diversa de la situaciçon de la ciencia en España.
Desde el Colectivo Carta por la Ciencia queremos agradecer vuestra entusiasta asistencia a las concentraciones del 14J. Podéis ver el impacto que tuvo en los medios y diversas fotos en los enlaces indicados.
Por otro lado, se ha aprobado recientemente la partida presupuestaria extraordinaria de 104 M€ para I+D+i (25 para el CSIC+79 para el Plan Nacional), que se venía anunciando desde primeros de Mayo como requisito imprescindible para la puesta en marcha de las convocatorias de 2013.
Al mismo tiempo, los fondos de la convocatoria de 2012 están llegando a los Centros, así como los del programa Severo Ochoa que fueron retenidos por el inclumplimiento del objetivo de déficit de las Comunidades Autónomas.
Se trata de buenas noticias, a las que habeis contribuido sin ninguna duda, pero que sin embargo NO resuelven la situación denunciada:
1. Aun contando con los 104 M€, el presupuesto en subvenciones para I+D+i de 2013 es más de 200 millones inferior al de 2012 (que a su vez fue un 25% inferior al de 2011, etc.)
2. Estamos a primeros de Julio. La posibilidad de que en estas fechas puedan lanzarse y resolverse convenientemente en tiempo y forma las convocatorias de 2013 es, cuanto menos, difícil.
3. Los 25 millones para el CSIC son la cuarta parte de lo que la dirección del mismo ha señalado como déficit estructural que está poniendo en riesgo su viabilidad.
4. No se ha avanzado nada en cuanto a la tasa de reposición ni la política de recursos humanos, una de la piedras angulares del sistema.
5. El bloqueo de fondos de I+D+i en CC.AA. con exceso de déficit sigue siendo una medida «graciable» de Hacienda y puede volver a producirse al no haberse modificado estructuralmente la ley para eximir de ella la I+D+i.
Finalmente, ha habido que esperar 8 meses (!) para abordar por vía extraordinaria un problema señalado por todos desde en la aprobación de los PGE: la insuficiencia del presupuesto en I+D+i para 2013, y que ha supuesto una parálisis del sistema en este primer semestre.
Confiamos en que en los Presupuestos de 2014 no se cometa el mismo error. En cualquier caso, y con vuestra inestimable ayuda, seguiremos con nuestras reivindicaciones hasta verlas satisfechas.
Colectivo Carta por la Ciencia

Appreciate the work that went into laying this out so clearly, every section earns its place without filler, and a look at clarityleadsforward confirmed the same care, definitely the kind of place that deserves a return visit when the topic comes up again later in the future or for any related question.
Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at directionalnavigation extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at connectedleadersbond extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
Worth flagging this post as worth a careful read rather than a casual skim, and a stop at focusnavigation earned the same careful approach, the few sites that warrant slower reading are sites I now treat differently from the daily content stream and this one has clearly moved into that elevated treatment category.
Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at actioncompass extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.
Felt the post was written for someone like me without explicitly addressing me, and a look at strategyguided produced the same fit, when content lands on its target without pandering you know the writer has done careful audience thinking rather than relying on demographic targeting or interest signals to do the work of editorial decisions.
Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at focusamplifiesgrowth pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.
Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at focusalignmenthub reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.
Skimmed first and then went back to read carefully, and the careful read paid off in places I had missed, and a stop at professionalunitybond got the same treatment, the rare site whose content rewards a second pass is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable single read articles.
If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at lifelongalliance reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.
Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at heritageunitybond continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.
Reading carefully here has reminded me what reading carefully feels like, and a look at directionpowersvelocity extended that reminder, the experience of careful reading versus skimming is different in ways I had partially forgotten and this site has clearly refreshed my memory of what attention feels like when content rewards it consistently.
Solid recommendation from me to anyone working in the area, the perspective here is grounded, and a look at growthunlocksprogress adds even more useful angles, the kind of site that becomes a reference rather than just a one time read which is a higher bar than most blogs ever reach today on the modern web.
Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at growthflowsforwardnow continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.
Considered as a whole this site has developed a coherent point of view that comes through in individual pieces, and a look at clarityleadsmovement continued displaying that coherence, sites with a unified perspective rather than a grab bag of takes are sites with editorial maturity and this one has clearly developed that maturity through years of work.
More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at collaborativesuccessbond kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.
Reading this in pieces during a long afternoon and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at claritymotion fit naturally into the same fragmented reading pattern, sites whose posts can be read in segments without losing the thread are well suited to how I actually read these days and this one is built well.
Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at visionarypartnersclub maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.
Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at focusdirection continued earning that credit, the calibration of how much trust to extend after limited exposure is something I do carefully and this site has earned more trust on shorter exposure than most due to consistent quality across.
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at progressstructure kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
Honestly the simplicity is what makes this work, the topic is not buried under filler words or overly complex examples, and a quick look at focusignition showed the same sensible style, I left with what I came for and no headache from over reading which is a real win these days.

Found this useful, the points line up well with what I have been thinking about lately, and a stop at visionactionloop added some angles I had not considered yet, definitely walking away with more than I came for which is the best outcome from time spent reading online for any kind of topic.
Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at claritypathways drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.
Comfortable in tone and substantive in content, that is a hard combination to land, and a look at actiondeployment kept that pairing alive across more material, this is what good editorial direction looks like in practice and the team here clearly has someone keeping a steady hand on the wheel across what they decide to publish.
Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at directioncreatesleverage kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.
Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at focusguidesexecution rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.
Honestly the simplicity is what makes this work, the topic is not buried under filler words or overly complex examples, and a quick look at unitedvisionbond showed the same sensible style, I left with what I came for and no headache from over reading which is a real win these days.
Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at momentumchannel confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.
Glad I stumbled across this post, the explanations actually make sense without needing background knowledge to follow along, and after a stop at claritypowersmovement the same was true there, no assumptions about the reader just clear writing that anyone can understand from the first line right through to the end.
Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at visiontrajectory provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.
Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at strategictrustnetwork confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.
Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at intentionalpathway extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.
I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at directionalthinking the points came together nicely for me, the writing keeps things straightforward and respects the reader from start to finish without ever talking down to anyone.
Really liked the calm tone running through the post, no shouting and no urgency forced into the writing, and a look at relationshipdrivenbond kept that quiet confidence going, the kind of voice that makes the reader feel respected rather than yelled at which is depressingly common across most modern blog content these days.
Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at focuscreatesenergy reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.
Reading this gave me something to think about for the rest of the afternoon, and after claritydrivesdecisions I had even more to mull over, the kind of post that lingers in the background of your day rather than evaporating immediately is genuinely valuable in an attention economy that punishes depth rather than rewarding it.
Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at claritydrive extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.
Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through directionalpathfinder only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.
Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up, and a look at growthmoveswithalignment added enough material that my notes file grew further, content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.
Reading this with a notebook open turned out to be the right move, and a stop at clarityanchorsgrowth added more material to the notes, content that justifies active note taking from a passive reader is content with real informational density and this site is producing notes worthy material at a high rate consistently.
Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at momentumworks kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.
Really like the way the post resists reaching for cliches that would have made it feel generic, and a quick visit to growthmovement kept that fresh feel going, original phrasing and unexpected metaphors are signs that the writer is actually thinking rather than just stitching together familiar phrases into the appearance of content.
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at trustedleadersbond maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.
Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at actionunlocksvelocity extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.
Now recognising that the post handled the topic with appropriate technical precision without becoming dry, and a stop at collectivevaluebond continued that balance, technical precision and readability are often in tension and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain both at once which is one of the harder editorial achievements in the form.
Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at progressigniter continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.
More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at ideatraction confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.
Skipped the related products section because there was none, and a stop at directionfeedsenergy also lacked any aggressive monetisation, content that is not constantly trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and that confidence shows up as a different reading experience.
Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at claritydrivenprogress continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.
