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?
Wer, wenn nicht wir? Stimmen aus dem Hochschulalltag.
Die Zeit zum Denken muss hart erkämpft werden, dabei wäre neben der Lehre das Denken ein wichtiger Teil unserer Arbeit.
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.
The type of initiative much needed to activate a change in academia with long-term impact towards a more inclusive and respectful society.
Better science - wer wenn nicht wir?
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!
The measures proposed by betterscience.ch are relevant, urgent and important. Following standards from the business world, science suffers critical and systemic issue, such as an overload of publications (often poor in quality), a lack of recognition of time and commitment to reading and studying from individual researchers, career encouragement criteria based on superficial indicators, which together make the critical function of community in science impossible in most domain.
