Keep up to date with RSSReader romunov has made an excellent observation about support of science in their native Slovenia:
If you look at the budget for 2009 of Slovenia (only in Slovenian) you will notice that there is little (ok, no) mention of scholarships for natural sciences by responsible Ministries. There are, however, predicted 50.732,00 € for scholarships for study of law by the Faculty of law. I fail to see how we need to encourage study of law, given that this faculty receives a lion's share of new souls each year.
How do you think the UK compares against this? How do scholarships available for the sciences compare to those of the arts, business, law and so forth? And do any of the political parties plan to redirect funding from one to the other? Questions, questions...
