Back to basics: researchers' perception on the global state of funding for fundamental research
This report presents results from an international online survey demonstrating that researchers around the world perceive a decrease in support for fundamental science in the context of increased support for applied research. As a result, their decisions about the direction of research programmes have changed. Here, we highlight how researchers see changes in patterns of funding and research directions over a decade, and the impact this may have on innovation and our future generations of scientists.
