On March 26, Prof. Em. Simon Lilly gave his farewell lecture at ETH Zurich. For the first time, he provided some crucial insight into the events and processes that led to the dismissal of Prof. Marcella Carollo. Watch this if you are concerned about transparency, accountability, and good governance in academia.

New research from has revealed that nine in ten Australians want more people and businesses to stand up for and defend science. That’s why for #NationalScienceWeek 2023, the #GSKAustralia team are celebrating the role science and technology play in our work. As an organisation committed to uniting science, technology, and talent to get ahead of disease together, we are continuously looking for new ways to champion and support health-related advances in science.Learn more about how you can get involved in National Science Week here: https://lnkd.in/gwDVU2q

☘️🤝 Partnerships and Sustainable Development Goals🤝☘️ The following days I am attending at my last PhD course “Engaging with Society”, at Aalborg Universitet concerning the creation of societal impact and research contribution to sustainable development goals. Earlier this month I attended at the EUPHA - European Public Health Association conference in Dublin, where partnerships and sustainable goals were on the aganda. We contributed on a workshop on Co-creation and Co-Production in relation to applied practice and the importance of involing other stakeholders. Involing relevant and affected stakeholder into research and contributing with research knolwegde to inform politics is important. Contributing into political negotiations is also important to gain sustainable solutions. All perspective matters, and all perspective are important to solve the societal challanges we are facing 🌟💡☘️🤝 Thanks to Pernille Tangggaard Andersen , Charlotte Overgaard Anne Seneca Terkelsen Sofie Langergaard and Kirsten Shultz Petersen for a well held workshop. Thanks to Aalborg Kommune, Tine Curtis for funding my project. Thanks to Søren Løkke and Lone Kørnøv for organizing the PhD course 😃

📅 In February 2024, POIESIS member Dr. Anne-Sophie Behm-Bahtat from Wissenschaft im Dialog organised three online focus groups with different institutional actors from all over Germany as part of Work Package 3. The participants in the three groups – university communicators, research integrity officers, and members of research funding organisations – discussed the role of institutions for public trust in science and what can be done to improve conditions for research integrity and societal integration in institutions and beyond.🔬 The three different groups of institutional actors had lively 2-hour long discussions exploring the topics of trust in science, integrity and integration from different institutional angles. Altogether, participants did not so much see a crisis of public trust in science but rather a crisis of trust in public institutions. They underlined the importance of a comprehensive 'culture of integrity' at all institutional levels and also discussed why the 'how' of societal integration might actually be more important than the 'how much'.#PTPOIESIS#TrustInScience

Here is the the fantastic report by The RP Group on what factors determine whether or not Black students transfer. Spoiler: Completing Gateway math is really important.... also, "academic probation" has to be "reinvisioned"-- to put it mildly:)

interesting study"In navigating the intricate landscape of regional development traps in non-core regions undergoing green transitions, this study contributes to untangling development traps that hinder economic growth and social progress. This was achieved by drawing on empirical evidence from two case studies in Germany taking a nuanced approach linking agency and narratives to the concept of development traps in the context of peripheral regions....."
