Projects within the Advancing Research Quality and Value objective
The Berlin University Alliance pursues and supports projects and activities that further develop existing scientific expertise on relevant aspects of scientific performance, research quality and their assessment. The funded projects conduct research on the topics of research quality and open science, design good practice models – taking into account disciplinary differences – and implement experimentally relevant procedures and processes in the facilities of the BUA partner institutions.
Fellowship-Programm
As part of the Advancing Research Quality and Value priority area, BUA awards incoming and outgoing fellowships. The aim of the program is to support measures and projects on research quality and open science as well as to facilitate research collaborations and knowledge exchange.
New BUA projects strengthen quality and transparency in research
What are the hallmarks of high-quality research? How can Open Science practices be consistently integrated into everyday research? Which mechanisms can be identified at BUA to improve the transparency and quality of research through concrete measures? The Objective 3 - Advancing Research Quality and Value of the Berlin University Alliance is funding three new projects as part of its "Implementation Projects" call:
- Closing the Gap in Non-Latin-Script Data II
Project lead: Prof. Dr. Beatrice Gründler (Freie Universität Berlin), Jonas Müller-Laackman (Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg Carl von Ossietzky).
