摘要:The country specifi c situation in the science sector is a key factor aff ecting whether scientists remain in this sector. The
perceptions of researchers regarding the situation in the science sector are crucial. The availability of statistical data is a serious
constraint with regard to respective analysis. This paper presents such an analysis of the Slovenian science sector based on
the responses of almost 600 researchers with Master’s degrees or Doctorates (carried out in 2005). The paper opens with a
description of the broader context of the analysis (the situation in the EU and brain drain from the Slovenian science sector).
Next, the methodology and characteristics of the respondents are presented, followed by a presentation of several dimensions
of the situation in the Slovenian science sector (work conditions, the hierarchy of values related to work, and the circumstances
of their best realisation in the near future, the demand for researchers’ scientifi c work, and international professional mobility).
For some of these dimensions, the situation in 2005 is compared to that in the mid 1990s. The analysis shows that – in many
respects – the researchers perceived the situation in the Slovenian science sector in 2005 to be better than ten years before. In
some respects, however, it was the same, and occasionally worse.
