🌱🔬 Multi-stakeholder High-level Dialogue 🌍✨ Matthieu Lafon, PhD. and Teele Tõnismann have participated in the Multi-stakeholder High-level Dialogue on "Engaging stakeholders to realize the potential of science, technology, and innovation". Held on April 23, 2024, at OECD, the dialogue brought together a diverse array of stakeholders, including representatives from government, academia, industry, and civil society. In Breakout 2, titled "Equipping society in a fast-changing world," we delved into "Developing talent and promoting diverse research career paths in a world in transition." The highlight of the session was the unveiling of the Research and Innovation Careers Observatory (ReICO), a groundbreaking initiative where the European Commission and the Business and Finance at the OECD collaborate to address key challenges in nurturing and deploying research talent. We emphasized the importance of supporting both fundamental and solutions-focused academic research, recognizing the relevance of research competencies beyond academia, particularly in entrepreneurship and policymaking.🔬 #SustainabilityTransitions #Innovation #OECD #PhD #STI

📣 New Codes of Practice for industry-academia co-creation and citizen engagement for knowledge valorisation! European Commission published two recommendations on a Code of Practice regarding industry-academia co-creation and citizen engagement for knowledge valorisation. These codes offer guidance to researchers and innovators, enabling them to actively collaborate with various stakeholders to collectively generate and exploit knowledge for the advancement of both the economy and society.

☀ Next in our #SummerReading list - in March, Science Europe together with Research Foundation Flanders - FWO and F.R.S. - FNRS organised a high level conference to bring together research organisations, policy makers, academia, industry, and civil society to highlight the importance of open, ethical #sciencecommunication in #research processes and explore the associated opportunities and challenges. The report provides an overview of the discussions on topics such as the role of science communication in policy making; combating misinformation; science communication and #artificialintelligence; and incorporating equity, diversity and inclusion in the communication process. Key messages included the need to enhance researchers' communication skills, and innovative approaches to promote public engagement to demonstrate the value of research investments and foster public trust in the scientific process.

How to build connections with fellows in the conference to develop your potential co-authors? Here is my experience. In three days, I have built connections with one ongoing research project targeted at a special issue and one developing project for theory testing in a different empirical context. What's more, these connections are all unexpected beyond my study. The tip here is to find and join the conversation table.   Conversation is the word that I first learnt from Dr Timi Tope Ologunoye Timi Ologunoye in the session of publishing in the good journal, provided by Prof Adina Iulia Dudau. Later I got to know The Conversation (https://lnkd.in/e-TsmpTK) from Prof. Professor Paresh Wankhade FAcSS. Conversation is around the topic that you are interested in to generate your connections. By joining a conversation table with others, you put your specific arguments. This conversation table can be a good journal for one's publication interest or a conference presentation room. I found both of my connections from the same presentation room as my topic track of organisational transformation change and development. Here the connections generated from the conversation table are the impact of digital technologies on organisational boundaries and value creation from autonomy.   In some cases, conversation is the publication, even though its highly accessible chat nature that allows sufficient discussions and debates does not match with a usual understanding of what are papers. Conversation is not only the hand that links research fellows and fellows with non-academic populations but also the shoulder for future generations built on top of the past.   Thanks to all the dedicated prepared presentations for conversations, especially to Prof. Lara Carminati and Dr André de Waal in my conference experience. #BAM2024 #CONVERSATION #CONNECTION

How can host institutions support researchers at risk that are considering a career outside of academia after their placement? What opportunities exist to collaborate with industry and society in this regard? Join us on 21 February in a webinar discussing these and other questions on enhancing support for researchers at risk.

We are pleased to present the third webinar of a 5-part series as part of the Inspireurope+ project, which aims to strengthen and coordinate support for researchers at risk across Europe. This webinar offers perspectives on the labour market and opportunities for researchers that consider embarking on a career path outside of academia. We will explore the need for specialists in different sectors and examples of how #research expertise is turned into desired #skills in new contexts. Speakers: - Henriette Stoeber, Policy Analyst, EUA - Masoud Ghulami, consultant and Scholars at Risk graduate - Therese Lindkvist, EURAXESS national coordinator, Linköpings universitet - Hela Galvis Bonilla, Switch to Sweden, Linköping Science Park - Marina Brizar, UK & Europe Director, Talent Beyond Boundaries - Cristina Graziani, External Professor, Department of Politics, Law and International Studies, Università degli Studi di Padova Registrations are open until the start of the webinar. https://bit.ly/3ui6YIQ The funded by: European Union, under Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (#MSCA), #HorizonEurope #MSCactions #HorizonEU #atriskresearchers #careerpaths #InspireEuropePlus #EUfunded

🎓 What is the role of universities during challenging times? 🎞️ Tune in to the video below with Prof. Béla Merkely from Semmelweis Egyetem and explore the active role that academia plays in times of the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, and international tensions. Throughout time, #EuropeanUniversities have been an authentic source of knowledge and a social reference point to promote the #wellbeing of academia and society. ✊ Let’s unite for #EUniWell’s common mission to become the catalyst for democracy, science, and research together! #EUnited4Wellbeing #WellbeingMatters #EuropeanUniversities

NEW: In the Spotlight - it's Part 4 of our series on the social sciences' four key ingredients for research success. 🔦🤩 In this post, Simon Linacre writes about why the social sciences are essential to international collaboration and tackling global challenges, such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

*** Publication Alert: IMAGINE Research of Transformational Assessment *** A publication in the latest Caribbean Journal of Education and Development issue, Explores assessment’s power, its role we must construe, “IMAGINE Research of Transformational Assessment” is its title, A framework for equity, dismantling hierarchies vital. Authored by Tony Onwuegbuzie, Elena Forzani, and Sandra Abrams, Who call for critical dialectical pluralism, breaking traditional norms, Reimagining assessment to empower and to explore, Promoting equity in assessment, a transformative rapport.

Critical dialectical pluralism guides, Wherein every perspective, with respect, abides, From classrooms to the global stage, A new chapter, a turning page. Critical Assessment Practices, or CAPS, we say, A framework built to pave the way. With justice at its core, it strives To make assessment fair in all our lives. In the Caribbean’s warm embrace, Or the far corners of every place, We seek to nurture and to educate And dismantle the structures of systemic hate. Let assessment be a bridge, not a wall, In every study, large or small. With CAPS and CDP, we strive and rejoice In opportunities for all to have a voice. IMAGINE, with minds open wide, A future where knowledge and justice reside, Where assessment is fair, empowering, and just, In transformation, we place our trust.
