Gemeinsam mit der Nationalen Akademie der Wissenschaften Leopoldina lädt Die Junge Akademie herzlich zum ersten Leopoldina-Spieleabend am 18. November 2024 ein, bei dem Cornelis Menke, Alumnus der Jungen Akademie, das von ihm entwickelte Wissenschaftssimulationsspiel „Peer Review“ vorstellen wird.
Das Spiel bietet einen unterhaltsamen und zugleich lehrreichen Einblick in den Peer-Review-Prozess. Als ein essenzieller Bestandteil des wissenschaftlichen Publikations- und Förderwesens stellt dieser Prozess sicher, dass nur qualitativ hochwertige Forschungsprojekte gefördert und Forschung ihren Weg in die Fachliteratur findet.

“Close the gap: Wie können Geschlechteraspekte stärker in der Forschung berücksichtigt werden?”
Onlinediskussion mit Prof. Dr. Oliver Werz und Prof. Dr. Anna Kipp
Moderation: Dr. Michael Wutzler
online von 16-17 Uhr
Die Dominanz männlicher Perspektiven hat auch in der Wissenschaft dazu geführt, dass geschlechterspezifische Daten in vielen Bereichen der Forschung und der Gesellschaft unzureichend erfasst sind: Sei es bspw. bei der Wirkung von Medikamenten, den Arten der Fortbewegung, bei Sicherheitstechnologien oder der Altersvorsorge. Dabei führt Gendersensibilität zu einer höheren wissenschaftlichen Qualität und präziseren Ergebnissen, die auch in der Praxis zu besseren Anwendungen führen. Nicht zuletzt trägt gendersensible Forschung zu einer gleichstellungsorientierten gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung bei. Dahingehend hat sich in den letzten Jahren einiges getan.

There is a growing demand and responsibility for science to make a positive impact on society. To achieve this, researchers are increasingly expected and motivated to communicate their findings publicly and engage with non-academic actors, however in some cases, they face unwelcome, aggressive reactions. Researchers can become targets of impertinent attacks, hate speech, trolling campaigns, or even physical threats, which can be distressing and can undermine their credibility as experts. Skills in dealing with such attacks, or strategies of how to build resilient communication campaigns and engagement plans often do not play a central role in university curricula and the daily routines of research institutes. Approaches to dealing with such attacks, and wider strategies of how to build resilient and safeguarded communication campaigns and engagement plans are therefore essential skills for researchers.
This training programme is tailored to early career researchers who want to learn how to avoid or deal with hostility and hate speech attacks, where to find help, and most importantly how to create their own communication and engagement strategy in order to maximise their impact beyond academia.
