This article touched me deeply, as I can relate to all these issues. I love Denmark. I've lived there for almost a decade, and I hope to return in the future. I consider it my second home. Another big problem is that great welfare and superb salaries (further enhanced by SKAT's scheme for foreign researchers) attract the wrong type of people to research institutions. I met countless foreigners that act like Milena Penkowa [1] (she's Danish, though). They abuse the system, misuse funds and do nothing valuable. Except perpetuating their position. Me and my close peers hated this. I left to Oxbridge. Much worse quality of life, but a decent meritocracy.
