📢 Incentives for Conducting Societally Impactful Research Community of Practice (SIR CoP) Meeting 📆 Wednesday 4 December ⏰ 15.00–16.00 SAST 📍 Zoom This meeting will delve into the incentives and barriers to conducting societally impactful research, based on insights from a SADC-wide survey. We will explore who faces specific obstacles – whether due to institutional constraints, funding limitations, disciplinary silos or societal and cultural challenges – and discuss strategies to reduce these barriers. By identifying nuanced challenges and collaboratively designing solutions, we aim to foster a more inclusive and supportive research culture that prioritises societal impact. 🎟️ Register here today: https://lnkd.in/dC2vTsvP 🌐 Join our CoP: https://lnkd.in/ddwR-Rkw

This report presents the results of a survey held in 2024 among Science Europe's Member Organisations and offers a descriptive analysis of the role that they, as public research funding and performing organisations in Europe, play in the shifting landscape of open science and research assessment reform. As these issues gain increasing attention from both the research community and policy makers alike, the findings demonstrate how Science Europe members actively shape and contribute to these developments. https://lnkd.in/dkbKKKxa
