Also, this is funding that excludes general funding for, say, memberships etc. But I do agree with you that more funding for membership in larger research programmes is probably a good way to spend funds.TrueEconomicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350536454228478974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817171247555815363.post-27477858315364683822013-07-01T18:42:44.565+01:002013-07-01T18:42:44.565+01:00Interesting post.

As a physicist, I would like to see more SFI funding spent on membership of international bodies such as CERN (so that many many students could undergo training at a world-class facility),before they go on to a variety of careers. <br />Rather this than giving large funding to a small numer of local projects that rarely result in the promised economic gain..<br />Regards, CormacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
