Periodic Reporting for period 1 - EXCELScIOR (EXCELlent Science with Impact, Open and Reliable)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2023-03-01 do 2024-05-31
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.
