Genderová rovnost v evropské vědní politice: politická ekonomie strukturální změny

European science policy turned its attention to gender equality at the end of the 20th century, influencing to a smaller or greater extent three Framework Programmes supporting European research and technological development (the fifth, sixth and seventh). Gender equality is also an important component of the current negotiations of the next framework programme titled Horizon 2002 for the period 2013-2020.

Překlad článku Genderové praktiky v konstrukci akademické excelence: Ovce s pěti nohama

Rather than a remnant of previous organizing principles of science the linear notion of the academic career has been reordered and reinscribed in the recent science policy imaginary of the excelle…

Public accountability and the politicization of science: The peculiar journey of Czech research assessment

Public accountability and the politicization of science: The peculiar journey of Czech research assessment

In recent decades, research has undergone major changes, resulting in radical shifts in patterns of governance. In this process, external forms of research assessment have developed as a proxy for researchers’ and research institutions’ accountability to society. In this paper we focus on the developments of research assessment in the Czech Republic. First, we trace the trajectory of accountability measures in the socio-historical contexts of post-socialist science as a tool of not only evaluating but also…
