What is scientific excellence? Why does there seem to be no good definition? Does it depend on context?
This is a document that will hopefully rally people, give guidance, and spark discussion in local/national/regional contexts.
There's enough evidence on why we need to change, there's not enough things being changed. Time to get to work. 😉
It's ok if it sounds utopian.
It's ok if we don't make it 100% to this ideal.
As long as we have the targets set.
As long as we learn and adapt along the way.
This is not the final word in research cultures. This is the beginning of the work we have to do.
Once that was done, the next step was to set the targets. In today's environment of quick wins, KPIs, and short-term policy horizons, we felt it was important to set a vision for the long term of the sector, to create something aspirational and inspirational.
So we started with values. Values underlie all cultures, including research cultures, and getting that foundation set would be a crucial first step. Openly stating the key values of positive and inclusive research cultures seemed to resonate well with the community.
There's not a ton of space here to go deep, so I'll post more on LinkedIn, but I'll do my best here as well.
The goal of this vision is "Setting the goalposts for collaborative efforts towards an inclusive and supportive research culture for everyone in the sector!"
Alright, it's finally out after a good chunk of work: "A Vision and Framework for Research Cultures." Written as a part of the Science Europe Working Group on #ResearchCulture, with all of the great collaboration and teamwork of the group!

This is a huge win in my opinion, and hopefully the community takes advantage of this! Let’s push for the importance of mentorship together! Changing #researchculture one step at a time.
It took a while, but we got there. You can now show your PEP-CV mentorships on your ORCID profile.
pep-cv.mariecuriealumni.eu
Join PEP-CV. Help others build their narrative CV (or be helped). Get recognized for it on your ORCID profile.
News for PEP-CV coming 2025….
Happy holidays!
A word of caution: it might feel like that grant/paper/review cannot possibly wait over the Christmas period, but you can't get time with friends and family back. You likely won't be like "really wish I'd submitted that" in 5 years time but you might regret not spending time with those you love.
Are you working on making a meaningful change in your academic institution? You think people and values should be at the heart of the process? Then the Values-Enacted Leadership Institute is for you. Join my @humetricshss.bsky.social colleagues today for an info session at 18:00 CET!
Language defines culture, so this looks like an interesting book to pick up!
This year’s most read post on The Auditorium (our team blog)! You might be thinking What is a Narrative CV? How do I write a Narrative CV? What do I use it for? And ‘How can I support my researchers…?’ Well then, this is for you!

Sanli Faez at the Recognition and Rewards Festival 2024: “In a team, the leader is accountable to the others in the team. In a chiefdom, the leader is accountable to the outside.”
We want teams, not chiefdoms.
This is super cool - and in different languages, so that as many different kids as possible can talk to a scientist.
Yes! And it seems like sticking to values is in line with this. Integrity, trust, etc…
I was at #REvaluation24 last week discussing the idea of demonstrating "impact" through stories
My wonderful colleague Emily Iversen is doing this for the FNR's 25th anniversary: "25 Examples of Research with Impact"
Stories of impact, beyond single project outputs.

New Paper! “Understanding the social and political dimensions of research(er) assessment: evaluative flexibility and hidden criteria in promotion processes at research institutes”, just published in Research Evaluation by me, @naubertbonn.bsky.social & Serge Horbach. Thread below!
Here’s a picture of my cat. I’ve heard these things are popular on social media.
Lilo says hi.
I’ll start posting research culture stuff later, first killing time in an airport after a really nice #REvaluation24 conference.
Lots of ideas to chew on, and new people to push forward with… 😀
Should research assessment reform be ‘as aligned as possible, as diverse as needed’?
Read the last piece in this series developed in conversation with awesome women in research evaluation: @lizziegadd.bsky.social Noémie Aubert Bonn, Claire Fraser, Haley Hazlett & Anna Hatch.
Hello world! I guess I’ll do some social media here too. 😀
