Thank you.
We know that research funding is the crux of the problem, as you just said. Other researchers, regardless of their educational institution, will leave if they are offered better conditions elsewhere, if they have access to better infrastructure, or if they find other research teams with expertise in certain fields.
I'd like to come back to the distribution of funding. At our last meeting, Vincent Larivière, from the Université de Montréal, told us that just because a university receives more funding doesn't mean that it's more effective in its research. For example, the universities that are part of the U15 group of universities, which receive more funding, aren't going to produce more scientific research.
What do you think about investing more money in an institution that doesn't produce more scientific research results, compared to a small or medium‑sized university, which has fewer resources but manages to produce more with little money?
