Safeguarding collaboration with the United Kingdom

If the United Kingdom leaves the EU’s research collaboration, new initiatives will be needed to safeguard exchanges between Swedish and British researchers. This is the view of several experts. For Astrid von Mentzer, who is doing her post doc in Cambridge, decisions made in the near future will be of great importance.

Uncertainty surrounding Brexit impacts on the research community

The United Kingdom has formally left the EU, but many issues are still up in the air. After a three-and-a-half year rollercoaster ride, British researchers are now waiting for definitive answers to how the collaboration with the EU countries will work in the future. But Brexit has already affected the conditions for research in the country.

What happened in academia after #metoo?

#Metoo was an eye-opener for many and the beginning of several initiatives against sexual harassment in academia. Lisa Salmonsson, who led the Swedish #akademiuppropet, thinks that it has become easier to talk about abuse in academia, but at the same time notices a fatigue. “There’s just not the same outcry anymore,” she says.

The Nordic countries have very similar attitudes and conditions when it comes to basic research. In international comparison, Denmark does best. “I think that people in Sweden, Norway and Finland are more tolerant towards mediocre research than Denmark is,” says Gunnar Öquist, who has evaluated Nordic research in various contexts.

Openness the key to the Netherlands’ success

The Netherlands tops the lists for several ways of measuring research success. According to Ingrid van Engelshoven, the Minister for Education, Culture and Research, the primary success factor is openness. Last week, she took part in Forskningspolitiska dagen (Research Policy Day), which was arranged by the Swedish Research Council.

Poor krona exchange rate impacts on research infrastructure

The Swedish Research Council is forced to make major savings within national research infrastructure. The most important reason is the poor exchange rate of the Swedish krona, which causes increased costs for international infrastructure. But the cost increase is also because Swedish researchers have been successful, and have been awarded more time at several international facilities.

Pioneers who paved the way for women in academia

At a time when nearly all doors in academia were closed to women, a few still managed to make their way through. Paradoxically, several of the earliest women to have a research career in Sweden can be found within fields that are now the most male-dominated.

The world’s most cited researchers

Every year, the world’s most cited researchers are listed. Being included on this list can be seen as proof that your research is being used, or that you have done a good job. But the phenomenon of listing highly-cited researchers, and the consequences this can have, are also being criticised.

“Academic housekeeping” steals time from research, and does not add merit. Academic housekeeping is the invisible work primarily carried out by women.
