- Career structure and progression
- Lack of pension and other administrative arrangements for scientists who have a highly mobile career
- Lack of enforcement of the target of 3% of GNP spent on R&D included in the Lisbon treaty
- North-South divide in Europe
- Scientific visas
- Issues facing scientists involved in innovation processes
- Research ethics
- Research policy
- EU and national funding
- Recognition of the status of PhDs and postdocs
