Second-Order Science: A Vast and Largely Unexplored Science Frontier Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Context: Many recent research areas such as human cognition and quantum physics call the observer-independence of traditional science into question. Also, there is a growing need for self-reflexivity in science, i.e., a science that reflects on its own outcomes and products. Problem: We introduce the concept of second-order science that is based on the operation of re-entry. Our goal is to provide an overview of this largely unexplored science ...
Politics and Open Science: How the European Open Science Cloud became reality (the untold story). Vrije Universiteit Brussel
It is fair to say—note the word FAIR here—that realizing the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is now part and parcel of the European data science policy [1]. In particular since EOSC will be from 2021 in the hands of the independent EOSC association and thus potentially way out of the so-called “Brussels Bubble”.
This article will document the whole story of how EOSC emerged in this “bubble” as one of the policy intentions to foster ...

Urban Living Labs and Citizen Science: From Innovation and Science towards Policy Impacts Vrije Universiteit Brussel
City governments are currently exploring different participatory mechanisms in order to meet the growing demand in society for deliberate decision-making. Through developments in sensing technology, data processing and visualization, citizen science is emerging as a powerful tool for the general public to participate in scientific research that informs policy. Citizen science can be used as an approach in Urban Living Labs, whereby public and ...
Progress on Open Science: towards a shared research knowledge system. Final report of the Open Science Policy Platform Ghent University
This final report of the EU Open Science Policy Platform (OSPP) provides a brief overview of its four-year mandate from 2016 to 2020, followed by an update on progress by each stakeholder group over the past two years since the publication of the OSPP’s recommendations across the European Commission’s eight ambitions on Open Science, (OSPP-REC1). This summary of Practical Commitments for Implementation with specific examples of progress by each ...
Citizen engagement in science: Impressions from an international workshop on citizen science KU Leuven
At the international workshop “(Un)taming citizen science – Policies, Practices, People”, held at KU Leuven, scholars, policy makers, and science journalists discussed and explored citizen science initiatives in Europe and Japan. As citizen science concepts and processes make inroads into science policies and institutions, they create unique opportunities for public participation in scientific research and for the democratization of science....
Sport-related concussion research agenda beyond medical science: culture, ethics, science, policy KU Leuven University of Antwerp
The Concussion in Sport Group guidelines have successfully brought the attention of brain injuries to the global medical and sport research communities, and has significantly impacted brain injury-related practices and rules of international sport. Despite being the global repository of state-of-the-art science, diagnostic tools and guides to clinical practice, the ensuing consensus statements remain the object of ethical and sociocultural ...
Prescribing science: how science influences innovation in pharmaceutical firms? KU Leuven
The research of her PhD explores the role of university star scientists, i.e. leading contributors to scientific research in their domain , as firms' key partners in basic research. Her aim is to provide insights into the antecedents of these star-firm collaborations and the conditions under which they can enhance the innovative performance of firms. First,she seeks to explain why certain firms collaborate with university stars, while others do ...
