National science priorities - Want to secure a government grant? A key question to answer is: what's in your offering for the government? Governments provide funding to achieve their policy aims, so it's a good idea to keep up to date with announcements. Australia's National Science and Research Priorities have just been released - a guide that will help inform government policy and investment in science and research. Does your project align with these priority areas? https://lnkd.in/gsrb5CGQ

Want to have a word in how policy is made and how a Commissioner should represent future generations? If you do - as I think you should - then put the word out and let it be heard here:

☀ Next in our #SummerReading list - in March, Science Europe together with Research Foundation Flanders - FWO and F.R.S. - FNRS organised a high level conference to bring together research organisations, policy makers, academia, industry, and civil society to highlight the importance of open, ethical #sciencecommunication in #research processes and explore the associated opportunities and challenges. The report provides an overview of the discussions on topics such as the role of science communication in policy making; combating misinformation; science communication and #artificialintelligence; and incorporating equity, diversity and inclusion in the communication process. Key messages included the need to enhance researchers' communication skills, and innovative approaches to promote public engagement to demonstrate the value of research investments and foster public trust in the scientific process.

What is objectivity in science? 🤔 Why should we care about the philosophy of science, especially when it comes to #biodiversity and #ClimateChange? 🍃 What does it tell us about values and ethics in science? ♥️🧭 Send us your 🔥 burning questions🔥for philosophy of science researcher Dr. Aleta Quinn by 12 pm ET on Apr 15 to be featured in our video coming out on #EarthDay 👀 ➡️https://lnkd.in/edjE3cEH ✨More about Dr. Aleta Quinn✨ A Fulbright Canada Research Chair in Science and Society, Dr. Quinn researches the relationships among science, social values and objectivity, more specifically related to biodiversity and distinct forms of citizen science. Views that separate science from social policy and social values are no longer useful. We need new understandings to illustrate the impact of how we value science on scientific questions.

Yesterday, Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic MP and Chief Scientist Dr Cathy Foley released Australia’s new National Science Statement, alongside five new cross-disciplinary priorities, positioning science as a fundamental pillar of the Government’s Future Made in Australia strategy. The new priorities, which will steer government, university and the private sector research efforts, are: transitioning to a net zero future; supporting healthy and thriving communities; elevating First Australians’ knowledge systems; protecting and restoring Australia’s environment; and building a secure and resilient nation. Minister Husic pointed that the Government "wants science to drive industry growth, creating stronger businesses and more secure, well-paid jobs for Australians." And Dr Cathy Foley highlighted that “Science is at the heart of almost every aspect of our lives, and is especially important as we tackle today’s challenges. “These priorities are a great starting point, and I hope we can come together as a science and research community with industry and government to bring them to life.” Find out more Australia's National Science and Research Priorities here: https://lnkd.in/gYDFx9DS

This relationship will be explored from several perspectives. Firstly historically, the rise and development of Neo-Calvinist socio-economic thought—roughly from “Groen to Goudzwaard,” but also in its international transmission in the 20th and 21st century—will be considered. Secondly philosophically and theologically, the question will be addressed how Neo-Calvinist thought on these issues should be evaluated. What is its use for contemporary challenges such as increasing inequality and climate change? About twenty presenters from institutions all over the world will present a short paper on a wide array of topics related to the conference theme.
