Delay joining the Horizon Europe programme making it more difficult to attract and retain the brightest scientists.
Many researchers say that AI systems aren’t yet at the point of consciousness, but that the pace of AI evolution has got them pondering: how would we know if they were? A checklist derived from six neuroscience-based theories could aid in the assessment.
The study investigates whether the differentiation in the research function of UASs is reflected in their participation in the European Union Framework Programs for Research and Innovation (EU-FPs).
The Arab region comprises 22 member states across the Gulf, North Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Although economic circumstances, and available human, physical and digital capacities vary widely across these 22 states, the region as a whole has the resources and capability to play a pivotal role in the global transition towards more accessible, sustainable and inclusive research and education models.
Science misinformation have significant public policy repercussions. Artificial intelligence-based methods of altering videos and photos (deepfakes) lower the barriers to the mass creation and dissemination of realistic, manipulated digital content.
The economists say more frequent use of up-front experiments would result in more effective environmental policymaking in areas ranging from pollution control to timber harvesting across the world.
Ethics watchdogs are looking out for potentially undisclosed use of generative AI in scientific writing. But there's no foolproof way to catch it all yet.
The assault of Israeli government on democratic institutions and principles is an imminent threat to Israeli academia, which relies on a solid democratic foundation.
Tearing down ideas is central to scientific practice, but when it bleeds into the interpersonal, science loses its humanity.
Open science is increasingly becoming a policy focus and paradigm for all scientific research. Ismael Rafols, Ingeborg Meijer and Jordi Molas-Gallart argue that attempts to monitor the transition to open science should be informed by the values underpinning this change, rather than discrete indicators of open science practices.
This exploratory observational study at two large biomedical and health research funders in the Netherlands provides insight into how scientific quality and societal relevance are discussed in panel meetings.
This paper studies the national implementation, in Finland, of the European Union (EU) programme for COVID-19 recovery, the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), as an example of a cross-sectoral policy programme.
The National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health are frequently described as the world’s gold standard for scientific funding. Operationally, however, they are not keeping pace with progress at the scientific frontier.
Scientific fraud has been a problem from the beginning of documented science - but in recent years the issue has exploded.
Australia shows the need for more sustainable and just water management.
Public awareness campaigns have not stemmed sexual harassment at Swiss universities. A new generation of women is taking matters into their own hands.
Reflecting on his role as an academic and member of a research funding organisation, Duncan Green, considers how impact has in some ways still not become embedded in research culture and is often treated a bureaucratic hurdle to overcome.
Many researchers of color are at a disadvantage when applying for postdoctoral positions. That’s one of the main findings of a new study of 22,098 applications for 769 scientific postdoc positions at nine U.S. universities.
