The Journal Club (JC) Diversity and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) - DRIVERS - offers a forum for exchange on topics of diversity, equality and inclusion in science and academia and is a continuation of the previous JC Diversity. In the context of a monthly meeting, relevant literature on RRI and diversity is critically discussed. The JC is intended to pay particular attention to the role of research assessment and its reforms. The aim is to provide participants with a sound knowledge of RRI and diversity by engaging with relevant evidence and concepts.
The Journal Club takes place online on the first Monday of every month at 11 am (CET). Participation is possible on a regular basis, but also occasionally. We recommend that participants read the paper in advance. You will get more out of the journal club, if you have read each paper.
Further information, dates and the login link can be found here: https://www.bihealth.org/de/translation/innovationstreiber/quest-center/events/kurs/journal-club-for-diversity-and-responsible-research-and-innovation-drivers

Una Europa PhD Impact Competition // Deadline: Sep 15
The Una Europa PhD Impact Award aims to recognise and celebrate the impact, and potential impact, of research and researchers across the alliance. We invite doctoral researchers to reflect on their research practice, to consider how it impacts on society and contributes to the world.
Researchers are invited to complete a short PhD Impact Award case study template aimed at a non-scientific, non-technical audience. The case study should outline the impact or potential impact of the research e.g. on society, the economy, the environment, health, education, technology, culture or policy.
The winners of the award will have the opportunity to participate in a storytelling workshop (online) and be invited to the Una Europa Gathering in Bologna, Italy (27–29 November 2024) to showcase their research to the Una Europa community and meet with other researchers from the field of Future Materials. Travel and accommodation support will be provided to go to Bologna.
Application deadline: 15. September 2024
