How to thrive in the credibility network?

  • Project(/teams) are the fundamental building blocks

  • Interactions matter as much as the achievements

Community over Code

healthy community is a higher priority than good code

People above projects,

projects above people's ego

as an individual:

look for altruistic teams

“Selfishness beats altruism within groups.

Altruistic groups beat selfish groups.”

X-curve retrospection of the Recognition and Rewards programme

By Sanli Faez

X-curve retrospection of the Recognition and Rewards programme

Six years ago, a motivated coalition of knowledge institutions and research funders embarked on an ambitious movement to fundamentally renew the system for recognising and rewarding academics. With one clear ambition: talent in academia is diverse and deserves broader recognition. This systemic change is motivated and contributes to a global transformation in the organisation of academic research that is still ongoing. I will use the Drift X-curve model, a tool for making sense of system transitions, to examine the development over the past years driven by the national programme and to anticipate possible future scenarios for the responsible research movement.
