Our colleague Rodrigo Costas has been recently appointed as ‘Extraordinary Associate Professor’ at Stellenbosch University (South Africa). This appointment is linked to the extensive and successful collaboration between CWTS and CREST during the past 10 years.

The appointment will contribute to reinforcing SciSTIP research carried out in the areas of altmetrics in Africa, African funding research and the study of research teams in Africa.
