Early career researchers deserve more than a minimum wage

In her commentary (in Czech) for the Alarm online daily, Šárka Lojdová, the Chair of ČAD, reacts to the interview (in Czech) with Jaroslav Miller, the new Deputy Minister of Education, Youth and Sports and to the intention of bringing doctoral scholarships on par with the minimum wage level. While this would mean a significant increase in doctoral researchers’ income, Šárka is convinced that the idea of early career researchers not deserving more than a minimum wage needs to be challenged.
