#scipol — Public Fediverse posts

A vacancy for a senior management role at #FutureEarth requires a PhD and “strong international scientific credibility”.

There it is again: the assumption that, to manage scientists, you need to be one.

🤔 Wondering what #SciPol activities we have during the #EGU26 week?

This #GeoLog highlights #sessions that focus on science for policy, showcasing how researchers can start engaging in #policymaking, connect with decision-makers, and create #policy impact.

"Why Integrators Belong Nowhere. Integration expertise exists in universities and policy work, so why can’t institutions recognize or resource it?" https://rubenbaetens.substack.com/p/two-worlds-one-skill-why-integrators Great reflections by Ruben Baetens on a world I worked in for many years. #SciPol #SciCom #Researchmanagement

Conflating "Responsible Metrics" with "Responsible Assessment" is a common strategic error in research management.

Responsible Metrics focus on data sources and quantification (the technical side). Responsible Assessment focuses on institutional processes, ethics, and people (the political/governance side).

Adopting better data tools (like OpenAlex) without reforming decision-making cultures is not a solution. It is often just a way to make the same mistakes using better data.

My latest analysis on why this distinction is critical for policy design: https://copdeb.com/2025/12/22/diferencia-metricas-responsable-evaluacion-responsable/

Sooo, Zeit für eine etwas detaillierte Vorstellung. Im Blog Post habe ich es ja auch schon angerissen: 💡 Wie kommt man von der (aktiven) Forschung 💻🧪zur Wissenschaftspolitik bzw Science Policy? #scipol (ich persönlich finde, dass es Science Policy besser trifft - doch dazu später mehr).

Hallo alle zusammen, freue mich sehr auf die Woche mit Euch.👋 Mir ist vor allem ein Anliegen wie Wissenschaft bei politischen Entscheidungen sinnvoll helfen kann. Ich werde diese Woche ein paar Inspirationen & Konzepte zu teilen, und auch ein paar Leute zu reposten, die im #scipol Feld aktiv sind.

Genetic diversity 🧬 (and how to maintain it) is a very overlooked challenge in my opinion. Haven't listen to the podcast yet, but sounds like it's a good one to familiarize with the concept 🧪🌿 #scipol

As someone who sits on the interface between science policy and making things happen in 🇨🇦 #quantum, a key takeaway from #CSPC2024 is that the general public needs to hear more about longitudinal successes in quantum technologies

Science ➡️ policy... Scientists in the wilds of govt

No, larger far-right groups in the European Parliament will not disrupt European research policies.

... but look out for denial of scientific evidence (climate and gender) and resistance to programmes like #horizonEU, which are managed from Brussels.

I hope NZ's wealthy enjoy their tax cuts, because they're coming at a very, very high cost. The latest one: the mass exodus of excellent scientists, engineers and other STEM professionals that these decisions will cause in the coming years #nz #nzpol #science #scipol #stem

"One major value of our chapter is to increase the accessibility of engaging with science policy. One way to achieve this is an annual Science Policy Symposium. This year, we had over 120 registrants."

Hello world, time for a new #introduction!
I’m a microbiologist ➡️ #EU health #ResearchPolicy wonk in #Brussels.

Besides work, I enjoy #reading (mostly fiction), language(s), traveling, Star Trek, the occasional Nintendo game, and #LGBTQ activism.

In the fediverse I can’t wait to see your cat photos (dogs are ok too), improve my French, and dismantle the patriarchy.
