    Medicine is already this better way (in countries with social healthcare systems). A body of highly trained specialists who constantly update their knowledge through research, conferences and reading the last scientific advancements, and don’t necessarily earn extremely high salaries but have a comfortable life and a stable employment. We could expand this model to all sciences.

      What country would that be in? Because where I live (Germany), medical researchers face pretty much the same challenges as researchers in other fields.

        I meant medical physicians, not particularly researchers. My point is we could apply the healthcare model, i.e. a body of highly trained professionals working on exchange for a wage without the need for constant evaluation of metrics, relying on social value of medicine instead of grants as motivation.
