In 2022, CWTS held a series of open science seminars together with the Research Councils of The Netherlands (NWO) and Norway (RCN). Now, all resources from the seminars are available on a new Open Science Knowledge Platform. This blogpost reflects on building this platform and next steps to come.

Narrative CVs allow researchers to offer contextual accounts of their career. Ideally, they bring about more inclusive forms of research evaluation.

The STI 2022 conference held in Granada was my first large face-to-face conference since the pandemic. I was privileged to attend physically and reconnect with my international peers again. This trip meant a lot to me, but also made me reflect again on the new normal of research connection.

The Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) at Leiden University is delighted to announce the establishment of a UNESCO Chair on Diversity and Inclusion in Global Science.
