How do we assess scientific quality

Datum: 2019-05-23

Tid: 09:30 - 17:00

Adress: Lilla Frescativägen 4A, Stockholm

Lokal: Kungl. Vetenskapsakademien

Can breakthrough science be predicted? Do we encourage bold science and are we able to identify worthy risks? Or do we favour productivity rather than creativity? The purpose of the symposium is to invite to a thorough discussion on how breakthrough science may be identified and supported in a rapidly changing scientific landscape. Video now available.
