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?

This initiative is such an important step and can serve as a great "role model" for other initiatives to improve the way we do and value science!
Better Science heisst für mich, die Bedingungen wie wir im wissenschaftlichen Umfeld arbeiten, aktiv mitzugestalten. Gesellschaftlich relevante und interessante Forschung entsteht nur durch die Leistungen eines diversen Teams. Meine diversen Teammitglieder bringen unterschiedliche Erfahrungen, Expertisen und Interessen mit, welche sich in unserer Arbeit widerspiegeln. Ein diverses Team ist herausgefordert, denn manchmal muss der eigene Standpunkt genau erklärt werden – vielleicht anders als in einem homogenen Team. Better Science trägt dazu bei, meine Vision von einer diverseren Universität zu verwirklichen!
I am committed to use, to apply and to share these 10 rules in my institution because I believe that they contribute to better science!
I'm a supporter of the 'BETTER SCIENCE' principle. I firmly believe that such principles should be promoted throughout academic and research environments.
The higher one climbs within the academic system, the more the persistence of patriarchal structures becomes visible. We need a change of academic culture towards more space and recognition of care - care for ourselves, colleagues and our social and family life. The current workload as a professor does not allow any space for "Muse" which is crucial to develop new ideas and insights. Let's change the academic culture together towards a more equitable, caring environment!
Better science is about critical interrogations enabled through feminist, queer, postcolonial, crip, class- and cast-sensitive perspectives anchored in ecological and economical justice and based on deliberative democracy. It is about participative formats, about practicing theory, and about team-based, circular questioning.
