Przeciążeni obowiązkami, niedoceniani, rozczarowani, słabo zarabiający, narażeni na wypalenie zawodowe, mobbing i wystąpienie zaburzeń psychicznych...

Taki obraz wyłania się z analizy kondycji psychicznej młodych naukowców w Polsce⤵️

Main postulates from the discussions during @KRASP_pl 25th jubilee:a) ensuring the autonomy of university and research institutions b) advocating for increasing funds c) integrate the sci and res community d) speak up on public issues (it is not politics, it is social engagement)

[Dr Jacek Kolanowski @jlkolanowski]

Podczas jubileuszu @KRASP_pl Min. Czarnek dziękuje Min. Skuzie za dodatkowe 100 mln dla szkół doktorskich, Min. Skuza podkreśla rolę algorytmu w zwiększeniu środków o wskaźnik inflacji…na szkolnictwo wyższe.Pyt czy wzrost obejmie też naukę/badania? @MF_GOV_PL @MEIN_GOV_PL

Just participating in the 50th anniversary of Poznan’s Unit of Polish Academy of Sciences in a beautiful Dzialynski’s Pałace at Poznań Old Square - happy to meet with colleagues from many institutions in Poznan @PAN_akademia @PAN_AMU

[Dr Jacek Kolanowski @jlkolanowski]

@DrStuartFraser1 @ERC_Research @PAN_akademia @PAN_AMU It’s quite beautiful!

[Dr Jacek Kolanowski @jlkolanowski]

Starting a 2-day meeting of Visegard 4 National Academies Meeting (Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia) in a beautiful building of Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest with address from Eva Kondorosi and Philippe Cupers in ERC session @ERC_Research @PAN_akademia @PAN_AMU

[Dr Jacek Kolanowski @jlkolanowski]

@PAN_AMU @PAN_akademia - very interesting scheme worth considering.

[ALLEA @ALLEA_academies]

The first round is open to institutions hosting researchers displaced from Ukraine in countries within Council of Europe.

Institutions can receive up to €25,000 per researcher for up to 12 months, with no limit on how many researchers they can host.

This is an interesting blog post @EvidencePolicy!

The authors evaluated creative methods that help get evidence & policy into practice and identified 3 🔑themes: creative & visual, design led, &creating the right conditions.

wrapping up 2nd day of V4 Academies Meeting in Budapest - with @KatalinSolymosi and Eva Dekany from @HungarianYA we presented young academies' concept and talked about science advice by ECRs for European Commission @PAN_AMU @SAPEAnews - hope soon all V4 countries will have YAs.

[Dr Jacek Kolanowski @jlkolanowski]

Great V4 Young Researcher Award on COVID-19 research lecture in Budapest from our own Paweł Zmora from Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences in Poznań @PAN_akademia nominated by @PAN_AMU. Congrats Paweł!

[Dr Jacek Kolanowski @jlkolanowski]

@EverFurther @PAN_AMU @ERC_Research You are right - excellence of proposal is by far most important (that was also a clear position ands criticism of all V4 academies to the ERCEA representative, with a return to the idea of blind review being proposed too). Who implements it is also a factor to be considered

[Dr Jacek Kolanowski @jlkolanowski]

My take-home list from ERC panel a) align national sci. excel. eval. strategy with European level b) V4 countries fail mainly on B1 step of assessment by panel of generalists! c) Acknowledge the importance of proposal writing (with financial compensation) @PAN_AMU @ERC_Research

[Dr Jacek Kolanowski @jlkolanowski]

@EverFurther @PAN_AMU @ERC_Research Agreed, including multiple types / manifestations of scientific excellence beyond traditional ones in the evaluation process is a key. At the same time scientific excellence should not be the only aspect in evaluations for every purpose, but it might be for ERC.

[Dr Jacek Kolanowski @jlkolanowski]

@EverFurther @PAN_AMU @ERC_Research I think we will always need some way of evaluating scientific excellence and whether we want it or not, it is also a way of enforcing / promoting certain activities of scientists. Which parameters do we use to do that should, however, be changed from traditional approach

[Dr Jacek Kolanowski @jlkolanowski]

I deeply believe we need to a) open up to, and reward variable manifestations of scientific excellence (also beyond traditional bibliometrics parameters and b) promote synergy in evaluation methods on European and national levels to avoid discrepancy in what is rewarded

[Dr Jacek Kolanowski @jlkolanowski]

Philippe Cupers from @ERC_Research "A task force of on re-eval. of sci. excel. assessmnt. will provide conclusions hopefully by the end of the year" - very much looking forward to the report esp. as ERC is a trend setter for national organisations @PAN_AMU @JongeAcademie
