Research and Science Policy

Dagelijks nieuws:

wetenschaps- en onderzoeksbeleid

As the worlds of science and science policy turn 24 hours a day, starting a new working day might call for a quick and dirty update.

Here are a few news pages (overviews) that are commendable, with some apology for the Dutch bias ;-)

Policy 1 & Policy Files 3

Science. 2

Terwijl de werelden van wetenschap en wetenschapsbeleid 24 uur per dag door blijven draaien, is een snelle en globale ‘update’ wellicht nodig als de werkdag begint.

Bij deze een paar perspagina’s (overzichten), met een verontschuldiging voor de Nederlandse invalshoek ;-)

Beleid.. 1 & Beleidsdossiers. 3

Wetenschap.. 2
