The brief introduction of some of it is to come

Social Lab on Responsible Research and Innovation, November 2018, Prague SCIENCE EDUCATION (Branislava Lalić) Developing country

• struggling with “brain drain“ • increased number of young people leaving the country after high school graduation • lack of internationalism of younger generations • lack of resolution to face with challenges and to confront them in a productive way • reduced number of newborn kids

Social Lab on Responsible Research and Innovation, November 2018, Prague What should we do? • Introduce science in high school and university education. • Introduce innovative formal and informal science education teaching and learning to raise awareness of the different aspects encompassing science and technology in today's society. • We should modify, change and adapt our current approach to teaching. Young people are not satisfied with role of a silent spectator in the theatre. They are looking for more discussions, more engagement, they do not recognize teachers authority "per definition". • Increase internationalization. • Make ground base for European universities - joint curricula and student books.

Social Lab on Responsible Research and Innovation, November 2018, Prague • Certain gender gaps are present (dean/vice-dean positions, managment of domestic projects) - not the consequence of no opportunity given for women. • Problem most women experience - balance the demands of their career and personal/family (credit to women - feel more confident for positions that include more working hours, provide prolonged daily child-care facilities). • Many feel nervious about the impact starting a family might have on their career - reduced number of newborn kids. • No gender gaps in salary amount (incomes on maternity leave – basic salary 100%, no incomes from research activities – projects – should be changed). • Retirement - 62 years age limit for women, 65 years age limit for men – will be 65 years for both in 2032. • Generally, men earn higher incomes.
