Leading Tunisian scientists in Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering. An Overview

Research Paper from the year 2015 in the subject Sociology - Work, Profession, Education, Organisation, , language: English, abstract: In this research paper, a ranking of the 65 Leading Tunisian Scientists in Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering working in Tunisia and abroad is provided. It is clearly seen that 48 out of 65 scientists are working outside Tunisia and this is explained by the better conditions of research offered there. Furthermore, It is clearly seen that even the distribution of the scientists working in Tunisia according to their affiliation is not homogenous because of the lack of Research productivity of the Private Universities of Tunisia and even of several Public Universities. This limited performance of local Leading Scientists is mainly explained by a deficiency in their choice of international collaboration. That is why a new policy should be applied to ameliorate the organization of such research collaborations and let them more fructuous.
