Research funding, research culture, good food. Programme Manager at the Luxembourg National Research Fund, but views, opinions, hallucinations, and silly ideas are my own.

What is scientific excellence? Why does there seem to be no good definition? Does it depend on context?

Alright, it's finally out after a good chunk of work: "A Vision and Framework for Research Cultures." Written as a part of the Science Europe Working Group on #ResearchCulture, with all of the great collaboration and teamwork of the group!

A word of caution: it might feel like that grant/paper/review cannot possibly wait over the Christmas period, but you can't get time with friends and family back. You likely won't be like "really wish I'd submitted that" in 5 years time but you might regret not spending time with those you love.

Language defines culture, so this looks like an interesting book to pick up!
New book just out and looks like it’s going to be an interesting holiday read. Builds on Schein’s (and other’s) work on #OrganisationalCulture and already making me think about culture change from a different perspective…. #ResearchCulture

This year’s most read post on The Auditorium (our team blog)! You might be thinking What is a Narrative CV? How do I write a Narrative CV? What do I use it for? And ‘How can I support my researchers…?’ Well then, this is for you!

Sanli Faez at the Recognition and Rewards Festival 2024: “In a team, the leader is accountable to the others in the team. In a chiefdom, the leader is accountable to the outside.”

We want teams, not chiefdoms.

This is super cool - and in different languages, so that as many different kids as possible can talk to a scientist.

I was at #REvaluation24 last week discussing the idea of demonstrating "impact" through stories

My wonderful colleague Emily Iversen is doing this for the FNR's 25th anniversary: "25 Examples of Research with Impact"

Stories of impact, beyond single project outputs.

Here’s a picture of my cat. I’ve heard these things are popular on social media.

Lilo says hi.

I’ll start posting research culture stuff later, first killing time in an airport after a really nice #REvaluation24 conference.

Lots of ideas to chew on, and new people to push forward with… 😀

Should research assessment reform be ‘as aligned as possible, as diverse as needed’?
