Researchers petition against favoured status of doctors

Italian contract law puts non-medical researchers at risk of job insecurity, says ARSI group

Non-academic biomedical researchers in Italy have complained of unfair treatment after being left out of a government plan to hire 50,000 new doctors and nurses.

The plan excludes researchers without a medical degree, including those working in public hospitals called IRCCS and the IZS institutes for veterinary research. These researchers are currently hired on the basis of five-year fixed-term contracts that were first introduced in 2019.
