Where: Lecture hall SP3, Spinozagebouw, Montessorilaan 3, Nijmegen & online (you will receive the link when you register). Register here for both on campus and online attendance.

What: What makes a good researcher? How should we evaluate and reward good academic practices? What metrics, if any, should we use to evaluate university staff and award funding? Could deviating from current international standards be good or bad for Dutch academia?

The debate around recognizing and rewarding academic practices again sparked last July with several open letters in Dutch media.

The public is invited to join the discussion. You can attend this event either on campus (limited seats available) or online. The livestream will not be recorded.
