What’s in it for me? Motivation is all. Ian Halliday President, ESF CEO, Scottish Universities Physics Alliance

Why listen to me ? CEO, SUPA: 220 faculty Head of Physics: Swansea Imperial College: 25 years CEO UK Research Council: 7 yrs EURAB: 6 years : Universities Japanese Govt: WPI CERN Council: 7 years. President ESF

Mobility is good? Why should PhD students, post-docs move? From student point of view? From University point of view? From European point of view? To what end?

Improve European science. Increase competition. Peer pressure. Gain scale effects. Market for talent. Improve Universities.

What’s in it for me? Researchers must gain. Must have confidence. Intellectual environment. Better funding system Open-ness to talent. Global talent competition.

Motivation is all. Country: Competitive edge? Funding agencies: people matter. Universities: talent matters even more! Coherent policy is necessary.

Improve Universities. Competition? Differentiation? Autonomy & Finance Fragmented science systems. UK can afford three world level Universities? Scotland? What is the best model for the researchers?

Societal benefit from Research Needs talent Needs a vision Needs competitive systems Scale of Resource USA: Europe: Japan : China : India Urgent.

ESF Review Institutions Funding performance Policy Advice Forward looks Sell Europe Sell ambition

Do we believe? Can we compete with Princeton? Do we have the institutions? Do we accept few world class institutions? Can we agree a European career path? Do we have the nerve? Where is English taking us?
