Wir wollen eine bessere Wissenschaftskultur für alle.
Ein Kulturwandel hin zu einer diversen, chancengleichen und nachhaltigen Kultur an Hochschulen kann von allen Hochschulangehörigen getragen werden. Egal, in welcher Rolle Sie sich befinden: Sie haben mehr Einfluss als Sie denken. Finden Sie heraus, was Sie heute konkret anstossen können. Unsere Anleitungen sind erprobte Praktiken aus dem Hochschulbetrieb.
Artificial intelligence promises faster research: automated analysis, generated text, shorter publication cycles. The Slow Science Movement argues that good research needs time, reflection and careful collaboration. This event examines what slow science can mean in an AI driven research environment.
David Ginsbourger, Professor of Statistical Data Science and Director of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and Actuarial Science, University of Bern, presents STRADA (www.strada.unibe.ch), the university's initiative connecting disciplinary knowledge with AI methods. He discusses opportunities and limits of AI for scientific practice.
Dr. Matteo Negri of the Slow Science Movement (www.slow-science.com) present their demands addressed to funders, institutions, publishers and researchers: more time for reflection, broader evaluation criteria, incentives for careful review, and stronger collaboration among researchers.
The event raises questions for discussion: Where can AI create room for reflection instead of adding pressure? Which research tasks gain from automation, and which lose quality when accelerated? Can AI even provide tools for slow science?

Danke für diese Initiative - die Zeit ist überreif!
For many years I have pushed a ‘better science agenda’ in my university and as a member of the Presiding Board of the Swiss National Science Foundation. The DORA declaration, new ways of evaluating research accomplishments and CVs have been crucial in this respect. This better science agenda is clearly present in the SNSF 2021-2024 plan. But we need a platform and network such as Better science to make a cultural change happen in the everyday functioning of the Swiss institutions of Higher Education. We’re not nowhere on this path, as some pessimists think, but we still have a long way to go.
We decided to introduce a 'Culture of Care' for animal experimentation a while ago. This is exactly the way we need to go with science in general: Think about why we are doing what we are doing, improve the quality of our research in every way possible, and - last but not least - improve the "welfare of the researchers", mainly by offering clear career perspectives to our younger colleagues.
Very supportive - and I would love a course on that such as leadership course for better science in academia
La science est présentée comme un accomplissement individuel, la réalisation d'une carrière académique comme l'aboutissement d'efforts individuels. Or, l'inverse est vrai : la science est le produit d'un intense travail d'équipe, réalisé au sein d'institutions complexes. Il est temps de désindividualiser l'approche, de chercher des approches collectives qui tiennent compte, accompagnent et se nourrissent des parcours individuels.
Das Wissenschaftssystem schreit nach Optimierung, Better Science muss her!
