1/7 Just for how long have you thought about changing the conditions and incentives under which you work as a professional in research & innovation (R&I)? How could you enable citizens from all walks of life, regardless of their training and background, to get involved with R&I?
Want to improve #research & #innovation❓
Want to learn about how to do this through participatory experiments❓
#NewHoRRIzon released a Guide to good practices with lessons & narratives on 4years of experimentation with #RRI in social labs across Europe.

Really glad to see this paper published in the Science and Public Policy journal. A really nice collaboration with an amazing team of authors in the #NewHoRRIzon project.

➡️On November 10, I will publicly defend my PhD thesis “Turning the tide: Governance and politics of transdisciplinary experimentation for sustainability transitions” at 09.45 CEST in the Aula of the @VUamsterdam! #AcademicTwitter
So what’s it about? THREAD 🧵(1/13)

During the summer, the @JResInnov published our paper framed in the #NewHoRRIzon project. This is an ambitious pap er that addresses some of the gaps and pitfalls of #RRI implementation in #H2020

So pleased to see a discussion piece written together with Joshua Cohen, Shauna Stack, and Nicholas Surber published in @JResInnov 😊
In it, we reflect on working in and around #RRI by talking about our "discomforts" and our "commitments" 🧵1/n

Many stakeholders have gathered this morning for the 1st Assembly Meeting "Towards and Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment". Great to see @KarenStroobants playing such a leadership role!

Nederlanders willen echt wel samen de schouders eronder zetten. Maar dan moet het beleid wél te volgen zijn.
We hebben ondertussen meer varianten van de coronamaatregelen gezien, dan van het coronavirus.

Ik ben actief bij #WOinActie omdat het WO ondergefinancierd wordt en dat moet stoppen. Maar we zullen als wetenschappers met minder geld genoegen moeten nemen en sommig onderzoek dan maar niet doen als het alternatief gecompromitteerde financiering is: nos.nl/l/2413702

Uit alle tweets van journalisten, krijg ik de indruk dat het nieuwe kabinet probeert het record ‘coronamaatregelen lekken’ te verbeteren.

What is public engagement, what is needed for successful public engagement and how can public engagement be perceived as part of open science?
Very excited to share the preprint of our article that some of the @UniUtrechtPE Fellows wrote: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.58399…

Stop funding research
(the way you do)
Because it is wasteful, unethical and unscientific

I'm currently reading my 5th or 6th article today that includes in it some form of looking back on the pandemic and its lessons. *Every* *single* *one* includes a variation of one or more of the following from scientists, public health agency heads, journalists, etc.:

Twitter hive mind: looking for great papers that unpack the role of narratives in societal transformation (w/ @EstherTurnhout) by:
distinguishing types of narratives & implications
deconstructing how narratives are entrenched
experimenting with methods to transform them
Thanks!

How can #citizens can be involved in tackling #missions & #societalchallenges? Together with @laurenshessels we're organizing an interactive panel discussion @TIPConsortium focused on this question. Interested to join the discussion too? Find more info at: tipconsortium.net/session/ci…

De huidige coronapolitiek is niet meer houdbaar, betoog ik in @nrc. Het is nu aan partijen om vanuit hun eigen waarden te schetsen hoe de samenleving eruit zou moeten zien met corona als blijvend fenomeen. En het is aan ons om tussen die verschillende toekomstbeelden te kiezen.
