Congress «We Scientists Shape Science»

Science has become a lot bigger and faster. Now we have to make it better! We want science to be creative, solid, open, helpful for society and a good career opportunity for the talented youth. Let’s start to change what it means to be a scientist and the way and the framework in which science is conducted. It is us scientists who need to change science.

Scientists and key players in the Swiss science landscape will decide upon first steps at the congress «We Scientists Shape Science». Contribute to one of the workshops: Time for research, Space for creativity, Scientific career, Scientific practice, Open science, Science in society.

The congress «We Scientists Shape Science» – an initiative by the Swiss Academy of Sciences and the Swiss Science and Innovation Council – will take place on 26 / 27 January 2017 in Berne. Inform yourself on: www.naturalsciences.ch/wescientists (registration is open until 30 November, no conference fee).

Please support us in stimulating a debate in the (scientific) community and share the information on the congress in your networks and organisations. Join the discussion now: tweet #wescientists.
