G.M. Meibauer (Gustav) 30 mei 2024 Een systeem van Erkennen & Waarderen kan bijdragen aan een bloeiende en meer rechtvaardige universiteit.

What does the Recognition & Rewards programme mean for the international position of Dutch academic research?

There are concerns in the academic community about the international position of Dutch science in connection with the implementation of the Recognition & Rewards programme. These concerns have also been expressed in the House of Representatives. In response, the standing committee on Education, Culture and Science tabled a request in July 2022 to clarify how academic quality can be determined. In its letter of advice published in December 2022...

What is changing in the assessment of scientific quality?

One of the objectives from the position paper Room for Everyone’s Talent (2019) is: focus on quality. In the paper, we argue that the implicit and overly one-sided emphasis on traditional, measurable output indicators (such as number of publications, h-index and journal impact factor) is partly responsible for the high workload. In addition, we argue that their use can upset the balance between academic disciplines and is inconsistent with the...

The core domains of an acacemic remain research and teaching, with the possi...

In the Room for Everyone’s Talent in Practice roadmap, the national Recognition & Rewards steering group promised that it would look into how the programme might help other groups within the institutions. The national steering group concludes that both approaches deserve support, as they bo...

How does the Recognition & Rewards programme view the use of university rankings?

University rankings come in different shapes and sizes. League tables are rankings that try to capture a university’s performance in research, teaching and impact in one number. League tables claim this number reflects the overall performance of a university. Many universities still believe it is important to perform well in international rankings, as many students, academics, businesses and governments consult them. However, the methods by wh...
