EXCELlent Science with Impact, Open and Reliable

Projektbeschreibung

Neuer ERA-Lehrstuhl für effizientere Wissenschaft

Innovation ist von höchster Priorität – und herausragende Wissenschaft ist der Schlüssel dazu. Herausragende Wissenschaft setzt jedoch herausragende Forschungsinfrastrukturen voraus, die sich an einer Politik für offene Wissenschaft orientieren. Das schließt auch den freien Zugang zu Daten und Veröffentlichungen ein. Um das Forschungspotenzial der Universität Coimbra (Portugal) zu erschließen, auszubauen und auszuschöpfen, wird das EU-finanzierte Projekt EXCELScIOR einen neuen interdisziplinären EFR-Lehrstuhl für Meta-Forschung (die Erforschung der Forschung) einrichten. Das Ziel dahinter ist es, die Reproduzierbarkeit und Interdisziplinarität zu fördern, um die Nutzung von Forschungsdaten zu verbessern und damit eine effizientere Wissenschaft zu ermöglichen. Der Hauptschwerpunkt des EFR-Lehrstuhlinhabers (Professor John Ioannidis von der Stanford University) wird auf der Biomedizin liegen.

Ziel

EXCELScIOR will develop, extend and fully unlock the research potential of the University of Coimbra (UC, Portugal) through the implementation of a new interdisciplinary ERA Chair devoted to Meta-research (i.e. “research on research”, or Meta-science). Meta-research fosters reproducibility and interdisciplinarity, making science more efficient through better use of research data, more reliable through better verification and ultimately more transparent (open) and responsive to societal challenges and needs. EXCELScIOR strategic goal is thus to improve UC’s research methods and practices, and enhance approaches to integrate information, generate reliable evidence and maximize its impact, in order to increase the scientific production, quality and organizational praxis of Research & Innovation at UC towards EU/ERA excellence. Biomedical Sciences will be the ERA Chair’s primary target during the project’s execution, but the intrinsic nature of meta-research is seemingly apposite and will then continue to revolutionize and advance multiple other research areas, within UC and beyond.
The named ERA Chair holder _ Professor John Ioannidis from the University of Stanford _ is considered a pioneer in meta-research, being one of the ten most-cited scientists globally across all sciences. His work in the field attained worldwide recognition and has transformed research in biomedicine and multiple other scientific areas. Under his leadership, this ERA Chair will strive and, in the long term, evolve into a new research to action center _ the Meta-Research Innovation Center - Coimbra (METRIC C) _ bound to operate in tandem with the Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford (METRICS) and its sister in Berlin (METRIC-B), both of which co-founded and (co-)directed by Professor Ioannidis.
