issued the Decree on the Boards 2008 Session I

is published today, signed by the Director-General Mark Tommasi, the decree for the formation of the selection boards for competitions I and II band and Researcher for the 2008 session. The elections will take place 9 to 16 December 2009.

Here the text of the Decree.

In short, as mentioned in a post a few weeks ago , procedures for the election will be held only for those areas where the number of commissioners is eligible for more than three times the Commissioners necessary (remember, only Professors, as DM March 27, 2009). At least that's what we understood by the said DM.

We did the example of Orthopaedics, MED/33, which are published in the first session from 7 places Associate Professor in the Faculty of Medicine. Since four commissioners are drawn for each competition, namely 28 Commissioners in all, there is the need to elect a number three times to form the list from which they draw, ie 3x28 = 84 candidates. Since there are only 63 in MED33 Ordinaries, the elections will take place, but it will automatically go into the draw on 17 December 2009. At least, we said, this is what we understood by the DM.

E 'likely that, for most of the competitions to be associated with (the most numerous) it will automatically go into the draw, while the ordinaries, and even more to the Researchers (remember only 252 contests banned, compared to 1143 II 724 band and I band) is possible that, given the small number of commissioners needed, you must indeed elections.

For some sectors (L-ANT/10, L-LIN/20, L-OR/17 and MED/45, MED/47 and MED/48) the number of ordinary and less as required (even in MED / MED/48 47 and there is no ordinary), and therefore will not be made at any commission. That is referring indefinitely.

Finally, today issued the Decree of you mentioned the possibility that by the end of January 2010 to initiate the appropriate procedures for the second session in 2008.

The "reform" the Minister Gelmini

In the debate following a article published in Il Sole 24 Ore about new competitions for the MD Researcher who fail the July 28, 2009, we want to signal the ' La Stampa interview with Minister Gelmini, published the day before yesterday. Several other articles in recent days to bring about the meritorious activities of APR, Association of Italian research Precarious ( the site here and here the blog), in pointing out the flaws and the non-application of the DM.

The title of the interview in La Stampa is "Gelmini: the reform work."
We ask first what "reform." If this term means an amendment of the recruitment system-namely, the DDL-announced several times this is still to come. After several delays (it was announced for spring 2009), the Minister said "this autumn". We remain on hold, then.

If you are going to the DM of 28 July 2009 on the assessment of qualifications and publications in competitions from the researcher, unfortunately this has proven at least debatable (see for example the comments of the previous post). It's nothing but a restatement of what is smoky always been, in the minutes of any old competition, the first page: "the definition of evaluation criteria." The simple list of criteria, as done in the DM, without attribution of weights or scores, opens the doors of the arbitrary committee free to give higher scores to participation in a conference (!) With respect to an article in Nature. And then, as reported, is not applied in a large number of contests next band.

If "reform" we mean the new procedure for the composition of committees, namely draw post-election committee members (elected, remember, as a number three times as needed), lack of decrees that regulate the conduct. Also, as noted a few posts ago, many areas lack in numbers, and there are certainly problems of implementation and extensions of time. Finally, the fact that almost two years have passed since the announcement of several competitions (and the change of the rules already published in the notice) could open the door to an avalanche of appeals. There are those who hoped, not unreasonably, the extension of the deadline for these contests.

So, what "reform" are we talking about? And, above all, because the Minister said that the reform "works"? It 'a case at least premature.

We however point out a couple of answers to the journalist Flavia Amabile Minister of the Press.
locking the car competition reported by the journalist, the minister replied: "It 'a procedural question. There was a lengthening of the time for a series of joint responsibility, but now we are trying to intervene to restart as quickly as can the car competitions. "
on merit and quality (in relation to the proliferation of "teachers free "), the Minister said:" The university to which you want to go only provides professors "

only professors?
