Join me @NSERC_CRSNG & our fantastic panelists this morning at 8:30AM at #CSPC2020, to discuss how the concept of research excellence is changing, around the world!

. @AnnaHscientist launched the #CSPC2020 panel with a description of the mission of the @DORA (sfdora.org), and shared a recently published resource on rethinking research assessment, on unintended and cognitive biases in research assessment: sfdora.org/wp-content/upl…
. @LeonievanDrooge conducted a review of 30 yrs of Dutch #ResearchExcellence policy w/ Rathenau Instituut (🔗 rathenau.nl/en/knowledge-e…), which raised many fundamental questions.
Next session: the incredibly relevant Open Science vs research security😬

Rémi Quirion🇨🇦⚜️: Especially in Canada, with healthcare being a provincial responsibility, close communication between national and provincial science ministers are important.
Also the increasing science advice to municipalities are a positive development during this pandemic 👍
