A friend of mine is part of the jury that decides on how to distribute millions of euros in EU research grants. There are 6 professors in the jury and the their compensation is exactly 100 euro per decision. You could essentially just make up a bullshit "project", bribe 3 of them with a few thousand bucks and secure yourself a million euro research grant.

Why would professors at the top of their field they sell their integrity for a few thousand dollars?
