When things go wrong between researchers and PIs, it's rarely just one issue. Workload and project management came up most often, followed closely by communication and feedback. Pay, career support and contract security weren't far behind.

CDD très courts : échec des négociations du 9 avril 2026
Après l'échec des négociations du 9 avril 2026 sur les contrats courts, le statu quo demeure : 85,3 % des embauches en CDD au premier trimestre 2026, la moitié pour quatre jours, et 39,8 % des 15-24 ans en CDI. Les CDD d'usage et les contrats saisonniers n'ouvrent toujours pas droit à la prime de précarité.
