The Spanish National Research Council will not issue a call for new PhD, postdoctoral and technical staff in the next two years, according to its latest action plan for 2014-2017.
Core science gets budget boost in a bid to change research culture and increase innovation.
In March 1989 Tim Berners-Lee, a scientist working at CERN, submitted a proposal to develop a radical new way of linking and sharing information over the internet. The document was entitled Information Management: A Proposal . And so the web was born.
Science is now able to self-correct instantly. Post-publication peer review is here to stay.
Scientists who use government money to conduct genomic research will be required to quickly share the data they gather under a policy announced on Wednesday by the NIH.
Analysis suggests that male physicists and mathematicians author nearly 50% more papers than female colleagues.
NIH will assess whether grant reviewers are biased against minority applicants.
As scientists and policymakers gather in Auckland for a global summit on scientific advice, what lessons can we identify that apply across diverse national systems?
"The future of science (& humanity) isn't about funding, it's about supporting scientists to take risks once again."
Nobelpreisträger Edmund Phelps spricht Europa Innovationskraft ab. Die Menschen seien zu behütet. Der Kontinent lebe von der Substanz.
As someone looking back from a high point in his career, what advice would Martin Hairer give to a young mathematician who was just starting out?
It can seem like a magic word is needed to get published in the top academic journals. Is open access a genuine alternative?
Introduction to the topics being discussed at the Auckland conference on ‘Science Advice to Governments’.
Annual figures: offers of admission from U.S. graduate schools to prospective international students.
Science crowdfunding platform reaches $1 million after two years.

Instrumentenkasten mit Beispiele aus der Praxis für die Praxis zu den Forschungsorientierten Gleichstellungsstandards der DFG.
An interview with Professor Sydney Brenner, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2002.
Maybe the researchers deeply believed that their findings were true. But that is the problem. The more passionate scientists are about their work, the more susceptible they are to bias.
Some of the smartest thinkers on problems at home and around the world are university professors, but most of them just don't matter in today's great debates.
Scientists are not as secular as people think.
Universities are drowning in digital information. It's time senior leaders made openness – and its consequences – their concern.
Higher education needs to break down the barriers that block pathways to cross-subject study.
Mehr Schulen, mehr Abiturienten, mehr Lehrer und mehr Akademiker. Die Bildungsexpansion ist beispiellos. Fachleute streiten, wie lang sie weitergeht. Und wozu.
This book will give researchers, scientists, decision makers, politicians, and stakeholders an overview on the basics, the tools, and the vision behind the current changes we see in the field of knowledge creation.
The assessment of scientific merit and individuals has a long and respectable history which has been demonstrated in numerous methods and models utilizing different data sources and approaches.
The non-rivalness of scientific knowledge has traditionally underpinned its status as a public good. This publication models science as a contribution game in which spillovers differentially benefit contributors over non-contributors.
The EU's academic output is 20% higher than the US. This shouldn't really be a surprise given the EU's combined population of over 500m versus America's 300m. In fact, Europe produces a third of the world's research outputs and, like China, investment is being ramped up while UK and US investments are treading water.
„Eine gute Forschungsstätte räumt Hindernisse aus dem Weg," meint Jürgen Knoblich, stellvertretender Direktor des Instituts für Molekulare Biotechnologie (IMBA) des ÖAW.
The number of female students considering university courses in STEM subjects has seen a bigger increase over the last seven years than for male students, according to new research.
