👉 The importance of renewal in the scientific ecosystem
✨
💬Research is a long-term process that is rarely completed within short timeframes. Projects funded through national, European or international calls usually extend over several years and require the continuous involvement of predoctoral and postdoctoral researchers, as well as specialised technical staff. ✍️
The renewal of contracts allows these professionals to maintain their link with the project, preventing the loss of talent and accumulated knowledge.
In addition, contractual continuity is essential to meet the objectives of funding programmes, which require verifiable and sustainable results. The interruption of a contract may jeopardise both the technical execution and the financial justification of the project.
Regulatory framework and types of contracts
Following recent reforms in labour legislation and in the Science, Technology and Innovation Act, new limits on temporary employment have been introduced and the figure of the indefinite contract linked to research projects has been strengthened.
• Predoctoral contracts (R1): aimed at research training and with a maximum duration of four years, extendable in specific cases.
• Postdoctoral and technical contracts: linked to projects or scientific-technical services, which may be indefinite or temporary depending on the source of funding.
• Contracts charged to projects funded by the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR): with specific modalities that allow a certain degree of flexibility, but always under strict limits on temporariness.
This framework seeks to balance the need for flexibility in project management with the obligation to guarantee job stability and avoid the abusive chaining of temporary contracts.
Impact on the continuity of projects and teams
The renewal of researchers not only ensures the technical execution of projects, but also strengthens the cohesion of work teams. Consolidated groups generate synergies, improve productivity and increase their capacity to attract new competitive funding. Likewise, contractual stability favours the transfer of knowledge to society and the productive sector, as researchers can devote more time to innovation and less to job uncertainty.
Challenges and perspectives
Despite regulatory advances, challenges remain:
• Insufficient or fragmented funding, which makes it difficult to renew contracts beyond minimum timeframes.
• Administrative bureaucracy, which delays the formalisation of extensions and generates insecurity within teams.
• International competition, which forces Spain and the European Union to offer attractive conditions to retain talent in comparison with other, more stable systems.
The future lies in consolidating a recruitment model that combines flexibility and stability, ensuring that researchers can develop their careers with security and that scientific projects maintain continuity.
Conclusion
The renewal of researchers in ongoing contracts and projects is a fundamental pillar for Spanish and European science. Without employment continuity, there is no scientific continuity. Ensuring professional stability means investing in quality results, innovation, and the strengthening of the academic and productive fabric.
This issue, far from being merely technical, reflects the need for a coherent scientific policy that places the researcher at the centre of the system and recognises their role as a driver of social and economic progress.
