The future of a whole generation of #earlystageresearchers shouldn't be put at risk for political bargaining. We need UK’s and Switzerland’s association to #HorizonEurope now. #phdchat #ecrchat #StickToScience EUA-CDE

We have received three(!) lovely testimonials for our edited collection on societal impact and SSH in Europe. Feeling proud of the work we've done and wishing Prof Paul Benneworth was still here to celebrate this.

A Special Issue for our special colleague. Here we bring his unfinished papers together to celebrate ⁦Prof Paul Benneworth⁩. He had an enormous “impact” - priceless and unmeasurable ⁦Stefan⁩ ⁦Julia Olmos⁩ academic.oup.com/rev/advance-ar…

Great to see our paper with Ginevra Peruginelli on the legal foundation of responsible research assessment published in Research Evaluation! We relate the legal framework also to research integrity guidelines and challenges of coherent RRA implementation doi.org/10.1093/reseva…
