- Tomminn 10y agoSuccess defined how? By publication record. Which leads to the rich get richer dynamic I think is troublesome. The more students you have, the easier it is to get funding for more students.
- robotresearcher 10y agoRich-get-richer sounds unfair, but if you controlled studio time, would you give it to Radiohead or Vanilla Ice? Some people have proven themselves to be really good at things, and it makes sense to give them the resources to do it well. Most countries also have special funding contests only for young researchers to bootstrap themselves into the main contests.
