  2. 👋 Welcome to RC Trust, Dr. Jonathan Liebers! 🤖

    Since March 1, 2026, Jonathan has joined the Human-AI Interaction group as a postdoctoral researcher.

    His research focuses on Agentic AI and implicit interaction – exploring how intelligent systems can support users proactively and understand contextual needs without explicit commands.

    We’re excited to have you on board! 🚀

  3. In early October, Rosa Fina, one of IHC's science managers, participated in the #ReData workshop ‘Fundamentals of Data Curation’ at the University of Coimbra.

    This has enabled us to improve our capacity for research data management and compliance with #FAIR principles. 💪

  4. 🆕 Quintino Lopes was invited by the European Research Council to act as an expert reviewer in the ERC Consolidator Grants 2025 competition. For the IHC researcher, ‘this invitation is a manifestation of the international projection and recognition of the research produced by the IHC.’

  5. Many academic papers could be half as long—or less. But we write them to be self-contained and accessible to a broad scholarly audience, so we repeat background, define well-known terms, pad the argument just to be safe. And then publishers restrict the number of footnotes.

    In an ideal world, a paper would be short, dense, even cryptic—and followed by a massive apparatus of notes explaining context, terminology, prior work, alternatives. Instead, we do the opposite: long main text, minimal notes

  8. Tomorrow, the House of Representatives of the Netherlands will vote on the proposed budget, which includes dramatic budget cuts to higher education.

    Today is the last opportunity for us to make our voices heard before tomorrow's vote. There will be protests throughout the country.

    At Delft University of Technology, we will gather at 1pm in front of the Aula for a walk-out.

  9. Morgen stemt de Tweede Kamer over de nieuwe begroting, inclusief de voorgestelde bezuinigingen op het hoger onderwijs.

    Daarom zijn er vandaag demonstraties door het hele land. Dit is de laatste gelegenheid om onze stem te laten horen vóór de stemming van morgen.

    Bij de TU Delft: om 13u verzamelen voor de Aula voor een walk-out tegen de aankomende Eppocalyps.

  10. Feeling like a star being interviewed at #Semantics2024 🌟 One question was about my personal highlights. As always on conferences, I appreciate to meet and catch up with old friends and colleagues as well as to make new friends. It's people, who are doing science and research (still...)

  11. Emerging from a few days of hyper-focus is hard. There is the attention crash (NOTHING is interesting anymore!), physical exhaustion (sleep debt is REAL), and piles of neglected admin work that has to be dealt with NOW (annual report X was due a month ago).

    But github.com/ktoddbrown/SoilDRaH now has a wiki in the works and the data harmonization is drafted! Oh and some clever paired treatment analysis is VERY satisfying. #tradeoffs #AcademicLife

  12. It's wonderful to see the #academic community developing here. The great migration happened during #UPWeek in November, so we'd love to highlight some of our fellow presses in the @aupresses community to help everyone get to know more about #AcademicPublishing in #2023. To start, learn what's #NextUP at SUNY Press: sunypress.edu/Blog/2022/Who-is

  13. 1/2: Global Faculty Development might sound like a slogan or exaggeration of international outreach, but I learned from having such a position at Kansai University in Osaka from 2016-2020 that Global FD can have a specific and practical definition in a suitable context. Basically, Global FD means meeting the needs of non-native English-using faculty members in non-Western countries. Specific guidance could involve preparing teachers for English-medium (or other international language) instruction (particularly to classes with international students), giving presentations at international conferences, publishing journal papers, and other scholarly
    tasks. Research findings: "Meeting Global Faculty Development Needs in Japan" at researchgate.net/publication/3 or academia.edu/38264974
