I am a former posdoc, who worked at Reykjavik University and the University of Iceland.

Þvílík hræsni hjá stjórnvöldum að stofna fyrr á árinu svokallað Vísinda- og nýsköpunarráð til þess að ,,Stuðla að upplýstri og gagnrýnni umræðu um vísindi, tækni og nýsköpun, stöðu greinanna og mikilvægi fyrir íslenskt samfélag með skýrslum og opnum fundum. ". Opnir fundir stuðla ekki að góðri stöðu vísinda á Íslandi, það er fólkið sem vinnur við vísindi.

Vísindafólk á Íslandi er háð styrkjum rannsóknarsjóðsins en engir aðrir stórir sjóðir eru í boði til að sækja í. Sem ung vísindakona mun breytingin enn frekar skerða mína möguleika á að hljóta styrk.

I started a faculty position in Iceland only a few months ago. Seeing these extreme cuts, I am now concerned that working in Iceland would be a serious hindrance to staying internationally competitive.

Science stands at the forefront of a nation's development and prosperity, making its support not merely a cost, but a strategic investment

The sciences need decent funding

Many reasons. I do believe falling behind will cost more money in the long term, due to fewer companies being made. I want Iceland to be a frontier rather than behind in science. I do not want our best researchers and students to leave Iceland because of lack of support. I do believe these short term goals will cost our future.

It is essential to maintain funding opportunities through IRF. Researchers and students rely on these opportunities to further innovation and research in Icelandic society and allows them to engage in international opportunities.

I think is important the good support for the research field. Is the only way to improve the results.

I’m signing this petition because I am a PhD student that would not have been able to proceed to those graduate studies in Iceland if my projects and my supervisors projects would not have been funded by the Icelandic Research Fund. Our research is of primary importance for the economy and for the cultural heritage of the country as the Arctic charr is an emblematic species in Iceland.

I'm signing because I have benefitted from the Rannis Fund, which enabled me to pursue my PhD at Reykjavik University. Even though I have left Iceland, I actively collaborate with Icelandic researchers and travel to Reykjavik University to discuss research in person. Government funds continue to make this possible.

If funds for basic science are cut, Iceland will suffer from diminished collaboration in terms of the number of international students pursuing study at Icelandic universities and cooperation with international researchers.

I am a soon to be doctoral student who moved to Iceland permanently for the prospect of research

Research is fundamental to sustainability. For betterment of communities and environment, we must develop new technologies. This huge cut is a very bad sign for our future generations.

I want research to continue and flourish.

The current funding is already not competitive compared to other Nordic countries. Cutting this budget further will ultimately result in people leaving the Icelandic research landscape (or not joining to start with). This not only results in a massive brain drain in the area of research - it will also have a substantial impact on the quality of education, which is already understaffed in many areas.

The founding for studies and research are necessary for the development of New clean technologies and prevent the damage of the environment using the New generación of the people

A cut to the competitive fund will be detrimental to graduate students in Iceland. Principal Investigators will need to look for other sources of funding which can be scarce. If Iceland can’t continue to provide high quality and properly funded graduate education, innovation will surely suffer.

Framþróun þekkingar á íslenskum sérsviðum byggir á öflugum rannsóknum og rannsóknarsamvinnu innan og untanlands og því skiputir miklu að hafa góða rannsóknarsjóði til að byggja undir og styrkja innlendar rannsóknir

Hvetja til þess að þessi niðurskurður verði dreginn til baka.

Stórlega vanhugsuð aðgerð sem hefur alvarleg áhrif á gæði íslensks samfélag til framtíðar.

Framlag til rannsókna er mikilvægur í þekkingarsamfélagi.
