THIRD WORKSHOP
Research, Training and Labour
Research, education and work. These are the topics we discussed during the day yesterday, from our point of
view, from the standpoint of the wave. We named our route
self-reform, low self-reform by the university. Self-reform from below for us and 'trample
this university', cross it with our desires and our proposals, proposals that
want to build from the understanding of its crisis and its relationship with the company
.
A crisis exploded a long time and depth from fifteen years of bad "reforms" aimed at
corporatization and privatization of the university, that the measures of this government
turn into disaster. Think of the cut of FFO, the blockade of turnover, especially
the transformation of universities into private foundations private law, its consequences in terms of wealth
of discrimination in access to quality education and deconstruction
entire national university system. Effects that can not but aggravate the already critical conditions for school
all levels.
must not forget the responsibilities of the university has managed
mechanisms and corporate patronage, those who stifle research by means of oppressive hierarchy,
of those who built a system based on widespread use of casual, of
who has now accepted the idea of \u200b\u200ba drastic narrowing of access to quality public education
. Our goal and 'flush out and expose these aberrations
wherever they arise, know them to break up. E 'than the so-called 3 +2,
counteract the effects of fragmentation and decline of functional education to the production of temporary workers and
researchers at the service of private enterprise or on duty.
In two months of mobilization have been shown to have no intention of leaving
enchanted by the minister Gelmini false openings in the fence or close a student
empty and arrogant. We cried out from the squares of all Italy
our awareness that only the union and the widespread protests of those details can upset the balance of power that crush
the education and research as much as that of work. Only
continued coordination and expansion of the protest could lead to real change in government policies
and for this reason we adhere to the general strike called for December 12
with a promise to make him live in our cities and in any place reached by
'Wave. Our strike will therefore be dedicated to the widespread use of
mobilizations, the fight against insecurity and the abolition of all forms of work
parasubordinate the Law of 30, against any discrimination of gender, culture and
race, against organized crime that is strangling our South and always more of our
North.
self-reform is the path of real development, investigation and unrest that puts
crisis in the current system, which proposes a different model of universities through a radical critique of the existing
. We want to build a public, democratic and accessible to all
.
why we feel the urgency, this period of deep crisis of the neoliberal economic and social model
, a university that knows how to make a contribution to the construction of a
new and more equitable development model. Our starting point will be the analysis of research
actually produced by our universities and institutions, the its impact on the territory, the creation of
critical knowledge and experience of self-propagating and teaching
alternative which we have created in our mobilization.
1) The independence and autonomy of the research are our founding principles.
Research should not be subject to market imperatives: the resources and public facilities
from which it depends can not be put at the service of private interests. Knowledge and '
a public good, a collective production and for this reason is not appropriate:
its results should be socialized, that is placed at the service of society. For this
consider essential to the development of non-commercial forms of their protection (GPL / Creative Commons
) as opposed to the patent and scientific support to publishing
open source and a strong synergy between research and teaching. We are aware however that the current emergency
has among its main causes the chronic underfunding of research, which
must be worn at least at the levels set by the Lisbon Treaty (3% of GDP against the current
1%). And as a free research can not exist without independent researchers and independent
every limitation, the democratization of access to funds and opened to researchers and doctoral
unstructured is our sine qua non.
2) Autonomy research and the quality of the public university can not be separated from
construction of a new concept of evaluation.
This concept, more complex mix of supposedly quantitative indices,
should not be linked to the containment of the budget, the production of patents or
sheer number of publications. We think that the assessment should also be seen as
social reporting activities of the universities and the system as a whole, which can not
regardless of local contexts in which universities are located.
At the same time, we insist that teachers, researchers and graduate students should be involved in the processes of
evaluation. The results of the evaluation of teaching and research
should affect the distribution of the funding for universities is
the disbursement of funds to individuals.
3) The problem cuts across all income is certainly the living body of the university:
graduate students and researchers precarious.
the research work, because it is working, must pay a fair wage and
rights established by the Workers' Statute. The multitude of internships, work experience and internship all
strictly unpaid are no longer tolerable, as well as the widespread teaching to
free. Each service should be contracted than as a form of work
subordinate in time and in such cases must be guaranteed the continuity of income,
fundamental right which we call the extension to all temporary workers. Not only that,
moved by the attention of the Minister Gelmini to the conditions of school buildings,
claim a suitable environment for study, work and research.
4) The PhD is the highest level of education while Italian
the introduction to the research.
should contribute to delivering appropriate educational courses and the right to economic independence.
This means in particular the immediate abolition of the doctorates without grant and payment of
tuition fees. Students should see their rights recognized by a national statute
dedicated to them. As for the endorsements showed the need for new
transparent bankruptcy procedures. The tasks assigned to trainees should not
never exceed the powers provided by law.
5) Regarding the thorny issue of recruitment, we reiterate our strong opposition to the blockade of
turnover. But this is not enough, after years of blocking access to
young people has exacerbated insecurity and encouraging the brain drain.
ask the establishment of a single contract of employment once the doctorate over a period of
less than two years: it should replace the current jungle of "contracts" precarious. These measures, however, would not
no sense without significant recruitment extraordinary way contest,
that must be followed by recruitment via ordinary competition over time.
regard to the classification of the teaching, we demand the establishment of a unique role and
the incompatibility of university teaching with private law contracts.
6) Researchers are insecure, essential for the operation of all Italian universities,
are completely absent from decision-making bodies of the same. And 'this is a key entries from the
hierarchy of research and teaching. As any other category in the university, the
precarious researchers and graduate students must participate in decision-making through their elected representatives
.
7) The wave has already crossed the border. Across Europe there were demonstrations of solidarity with the Italian movement
. This fact speaks to the transnational dimension of
problems we are facing. The research provides the mobility as an essential
but continually hampered by differences in national systems. Often
reforms, unwelcome to those who live the university, have been justified in the name of
alleged willingness to European integration. We want to stress a space
European Research does not yet exist and that the movement must take responsibility for
begin to create it, not by abstract standards but through the movement of
ideas and struggles.
The observation of different models of the university system at present in Europe
allows us to immediately reject hypotheses of development, like the Anglo-Saxon model
debt and the principle of formation, already widely in crisis
in England and the United States USA. In this context we propose the convening of a meeting of European
that circulates the various disputes developed by the movements of students and researchers
precarious.
9) Question gender research. In the search remains open
the same kind of question that we find everywhere in the world of work
: on one side of the career progression of women is heavily filtered to the highest
low, the other women suffer the perennial biological blackmail, aggravated by insecurity, for which the maternity
becomes reality in the way of expulsion from the world of research.
10) Indeed, if self-reform and 'also, and above all, a shared path of struggle
this workshop expressed a variety of ways that can be covered in local and national
:
- If job insecurity and' the problem of this generation a great Inquiry into the precarious work
University seems essential, leading to a national census in
that allows us to translate the power of numbers the enormity of the phenomenon
- The conjunction with the protest of the school
- Appeals students, graduate students and temporary workers to strike general / general strikes.
- Coordination with the school (teachers, parents, insecure, anti137, nogelmini, clubs
parent-teacher-university)
- Shares contemporary local and shared by the whole movement. National Day of
research.
- Disputes common places students, researchers precarious
- Develop disputes for the Application of the European Charter of research.
- Initiatives of openness outside, in the territory of the opening of the university
citizenship, school children, families and workers. Seminars etc. in the square.
- Study Group on assessment.
- must develop a critique of all the instruments of governance from the university
CRUI private foundation and of the self-circle of the best universities in Italy,
Aquis
- Promoting a European assembly
A variety of ways but many of Moreover, we think, are those that come out of this fantasy
movement, the strength of participation that is doing it live, the ability to experiment with new ways
showed that in these days of mobilization.
The movement must last, we know that our struggle will take time but we also know that
, at least for this country is a great opportunity and great hope.
