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.

"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/

CW: sci pol; NZ pol
ICYMI Another handbrake turn in research management, this time Aotearoa New Zealand under Christopher Luxon's National party coalition.
"New Zealand’s largest source of funding through competitive grants, the Endeavour Fund, remains stagnant at NZ$245 million but has *canceled all applications for the 2026 funding round to “reduce the operational burden of applying for funding”* during the mergers of Crown Research Institutes."

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

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.
