Belgium Ranked as best place to do research

In the US magazine, The Scientist, this year, for the first time since the survey's inception in 1993, Belgium was ranked the best country in which to do research.

(The Scientist, November 2007, see table)

The Scientist posted a Web-based questionnaire and invited readers of The Scientist and registrants on The Scientist web site who identified themselves as tenured or tenure-track life scientists working in academia or other non-commercial research organizations to respond. We received 2,072 usable responses.
