Critique
The EURATOM research institutes have been criticized since the 1970s for overmanagement and scientific unproductivity. For instance, a report to the European Parliament in the mid-1980s "condemned the centres for their top-heavy management. At Ispra, Italy, 700 of the 1600 staff are listed as researchers. But the report claims that most of them are full-time administrators. The actual scientific life of the institute rests on 30-40 people."
