Als dit betekent dat thematisch onderzoek per definitie een aantasting is van de academische vrijheid, vind ik de definitie van academische vrijheid toch wat te ruim gekozen.

Societal #impact requires excellent research instead of ‘good enough research’. However, the definition of #excellence differs from its definition in curiosity-driven research. Researchers can/should define this type of excellence for their discipline. #EuSPRI2023.

Vreemd. Vooral rechtse partijen lijken rankings ineens belangrijk te vinden. Juist de partijen die ook minder buitenlandse studenten willen. Internationale rankings zijn nogal onzinnig maar spelen wel een rol in de studiekeuze van internationale studenten.
