"In an environment ripe for silos, these state-level leaders chose collaboration." CCST Senior Communications Officer Mikel S., PhD, recaps lessons learned from #AAASmtg on the journey toward science without walls. He provides reasons to be optimistic about the future of #SciPol, citing the thriving and supportive community of state-level science and technology policy fellowships as a prime example. Some of the groups providing that optimism? MOST Policy Initiative, Eagleton Science and Politics Program (Eagleton Institute of Politics), National Science Policy Network, Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering, Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG), Donna Gerardi Riordan and the Washington State Academy of Sciences, and more.

💡 #News #RightToScience: The International Science Council (ISC) has just released a clear framework for understanding the "right to participate in and benefit from science," offering a detailed interpretation and guide to this fundamental right. The interpretation highlights key obligations to ensure universal access to science and scientific knowledge, while safeguarding scientific freedoms and promoting education. Aligned with the ISC’s Principles of Freedom and Responsibility in Science, it reinforces the vision of #science as a Global Public Good. The ISC’s interpretation aims to encourage wide discussion and to contribute to the continual development of the right to participate in and benefit from #science in ways that will benefit all people everywhere. ➡️ Discover the ISC's interpretation of the right to science and engage in the global conversation on making scientific knowledge universally accessible: https://lnkd.in/eBHa6Dab. #CFRS Vivi Stavrou Gustav Kessel Francoise Baylis S.

Big step for the EU in terms of promoting open science and increase investment in science and education

🤝 Collaboration is at the heart of open science! At Unite! multiple universities work together, emphasizing the collaborative nature of research.  Join us in promoting transdisciplinary research and fostering a culture of openness and accessibility. Together, we can achieve greater impact, so how do you enhance open science and innovation?  Check out Unite!'s white paper on how to enhance efficient open science and innovation management at universities.

But the struggle/fight goes on! 🚧🚧🚧💥🎓

New funding opportunity from the #NSF that supports exceptionally innovative, complex #research and #education projects that require large-scale, long-term awards. It focus on creating new #scientific paradigms, establishing entirely new scientific disciplines, and developing #transformative #technologies which have the potential for broad scientific or societal impact. 

This is really very important for better outcomes regarding research and innovations......

Today is the last day to submit your scientific session and workshop proposals for the 2025 AAAS Annual Meeting! Proposals are due on May 6. Share your #STEMM research and join our multidisciplinary gathering in Boston. #AAASmtg The 2025 AAAS Annual Meeting—Science Shaping Tomorrow—invites us to celebrate and strengthen the projects and collaborations among science, policy, and communication that already exist and promote the infusion of scientific and technical expertise into the public discourse and policymaking. We will highlight not only the responses to challenges and crises, but also marvel at what our future could be. https://brnw.ch/21wJwaj

The Sao Paulo Research organization is an important partner. I am happy to see that Dutch researchers are tapping in the possibilities that FAPESP has through the #sprint program for international #science & #reseach mobility. A strong 5 of 37 collaborations proposals or 13.5% of the total go to the Netherlands. Here's the full list: Towards a high throughput system to produce and regenerate gene-edited events in Solanum lycopersicum: Rudolf Maagd Wageningen University & Research Understanding the role of micro-mobility services in urban sustainability in disadvantaged neighborhoods: Itaim Paulista (São Paulo) and Tarwewijk (Delft): Aksel Ersoy Delft University of Technology Analysis of root development and architecture of tropical pastures inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense and Pseudomonas fluorescent to build drought-resistant materials using WUR-NPEC G4 rhizotron, The Netherlands: Rick van de Zedde Wageningen University & Research The reuse of glass bottles in earthen wall construction as a sustainable solution to mitigate the housing deficit in Brazil: Christian Louter Delft University of Technology Transformative practices for fishing communities: tackling socioenvironmental conflicts through transdisciplinarity and co-production: Anita Hardon Wageningen University & Research

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has topped the inaugural Interdisciplinary Science Rankings, a collaboration from Times Higher Education and Schmidt Science Fellows which spotlights the pioneering work of universities tackling global challenges. The US leads the way on cross-disciplinary scientific research, with seven institutions in the top 10 and 15 among the top 50. The top 20 features 12 universities from North America, four from Asia, three from Europe and one from the Middle East. The unique ranking uses 11 metrics to measure university performance in three areas: inputs (funding); process (measures of success, facilities, administrative support and promotion); and outputs (publications, research quality and reputation). It was created with the goal of improving scientific excellence and collaboration between universities, and aims to help institutions benchmark their interdisciplinary scientific work. Crossing traditionally narrow academic disciplines is widely seen as an important way to stimulate scientific breakthroughs and to help tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
