Young scientists: to stay or to leave
Young scientists have received a wide range of opportunities to study
or to work abroad over past decade. However, only a part of Armenia's
academics thinks the overseas experience is useful while others voice
concerns whether these students and scientists would come back to the
country. In their opinion, all the necessary conditions for studying
and working must be provided here in Armenia.
`I would accept an invitation to work some years abroad, but I would
certainly return back to Armenia. I like the living conditions here,
but I can't speak on behalf of all scientists,' said the Yerevan State
University's post graduate student Aram Zeytounian.
`Nowadays one can easily go for earning somewhere. I've been
practicing experimental physics, and I'd like to have some minimum
working conditions. The available equipment is outdated, and doesn't
go with modern challenges. I wouldn't certainly leave the country
forever, but for some years ` why not,' said a post graduate student
asking do not name him.
The YSU Physics Faculty's student Diana Antonosian said she doesn't
think there are any agreeable conditions for those scientists who
practice the experimental physics. Students for years cannot
experiment, she stated. `If I had an opportunity to work abroad, I'd
accept it. I've got some friends there, and they do not want to
return. There are, sure, granting systems here, but these is not a
solving of a problem. I work part-time, and have 15 thousand AMD in
salary, this is so little,' she said.
