It's a collaborative effort between researchers from University of Warsaw, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and ETH ZΓΌrich.
The project is funded by @ncn.gov.pl, @snsf.ch, and Research Foundation Flanders through the OPUS LAP/Weave programme.
π Kamila Lewandowska of the Science Studies Laboratory is part of the international team behind the project βPractice-based research: investigating research practices, outputs and impacts in Belgium-Flanders, Poland, and Switzerlandβ.

β How can practice-based research drive societal change?
Weβre excited to share a new blog post by the Cultural Studies of Science and Technology Group, exploring how transdisciplinary, practice-rooted approaches are shaping research across diverse contexts.
We're proud to share that Ewa Zegler-Poleska presented her research at #ISSI2025 in Yerevan! Ewa is a member of our Lab at @euroreg-uw.bsky.social, University of Warsaw.
It's rewarding to see our team members participating in global academic networks and representing the Lab at international events.

π‘A key insight: the value of qualitative methods in capturing impacts that bibliometric indicators alone may overlook, making a compelling case for adopting mixed-method approaches in evaluating grant schemes.
The study finds mobility programs do more than generate publications and grants: they also promote skill development and the exchange of good practices.
New article in PLOS ONE: Dr. Adam Ploszaj (@euroreg-uw.bsky.social) analyzes the impact of international academic mobility, using NAWA Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange Bekker Programme as a case study.

The RESSH Conference was organised by #ENRESSH and hosted by the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies.
π Many thanks to the organizers for an inspiring event focused on building more responsible, inclusive, and meaningful research evaluation systems.

Ewa Zegler-Poleska presented in the βPublication Pathwaysβ session with a talk titled βThe Role of Preprints in Research Evaluation: Investigating Preprint Withdrawalsβ. Her presentation stems from her NCN Preludium project, which you can read about here: www.euroreg.uw.edu.pl/en/research,...
This work draws on Kamilaβs NCN OPUS LAP project β more here: www.euroreg.uw.edu.pl/en/research,...
Kamila also served on the Scientific Committee of the #RESSH2025 conference.
Kamila Lewandowska spoke in two sessions:
β’ With Michael Ochsner (on behalf of all coauthors) she presented work on evaluating applied & practice-based research in social work & health sciences.
β’ In another, she discussed impact case studies from Poland (with Z. Smolarska & Alfredo Yergos-Yergos).
We're a bit late, but excited to share highlights from our participation in Research Evaluation in the Social Sciences and Humanities Conference 2025 in Helsinki!
Kamila Lewandowska, Zofia Smolarska & Ewa Zegler-Poleska from Science Studies Lab presented on research-practice links and preprints. ππ§΅
π How aligned are business & academia in innovation?
A new study by K. Szczygielski, J. Lewkowicz & A. Ploszaj proposes a patent-based thematic coherence index for national innovation systems.
More coherence = more innovation output per R&D input!

Recently, Ewa @zeglerpoleska.bsky.social discussed the studyβs findings on the βKampus Naukaβ program on Radio Kampus (University of Warsaw). The podcast, available in Polish, can be listened to on various platforms β find the links in the next post! Check it out for more details on the study! π
β But how much do we really trust science and scientists? An international research team from the Trust in Scientists and Science-related Populism (TISP) project, including Adam PΕoszaj and Ewa Zegler-Poleska of our Lab and EUROREG @euroreg-uw.bsky.social, explored this question.
π΅π± Today is Polish Science Day, a celebration of the achievements of Polish scientists and their contributions to global knowledge. We mark this day on the anniversary of Nicolaus Copernicusβ birth.
