Informe muy potente realizado por Victoria Tur-Vi?es y Jesús Segarra-Saavedra sobre las revistas científicas del ámbito de la comunicación. Es el momento de reivindicar las revistas ruta diamante como alternativa real frente al despilfarro y la codicia de otros modelos editoriales. Clave que la comunidad académica conozca bien el complejo ecosistema de publicaciones.

???Recording available of the webinar Research Careers & Talent Circulation in European HEIs?? The CATALISI Learning Hub is a platform designed to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange to help HEIS in their transformational pathways. It serves as a space for learning and sharing inspirational examples, aiming to catalyze positive change in research and innovation. https://lnkd.in/dUXaahkb How can Europe attract and retain top research talent? ???Dario Pellizzon (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice)?highlighted how talent attraction is embedded in institutional strategy, with initiatives like?HR Excellence in Research, ERC grants, and the?EUTOPIA Alliance?strengthening Europe’s research landscape. ???Dr. Ignasi Salvado-Estivill (OPERA, Alianza 4 Universidades)?focused on?bridging academia and industry, transferable skills, and fostering innovation. The?"Choose Europe"?initiative was also discussed as a key strategy to reverse brain drain. ???Francisco Javier Rubio Pomar (ARAID)?showcased how regional research institutions play a vital role in talent retention, offering?structured career progression, competitive benefits, and simplified application processes. ??? These discussions underscored the need for?increased funding, cross-border collaboration, and supportive research policies?to strengthen Europe’s position as a leading research hub. ??

?? ?Celebrating international women’s day with CATALISI by advancing gender equality in Higher Education??? On?International Women’s Day, we reflect on the persistent challenges that women face in?higher education and research. Despite progress, fewer women are completing PhDs, and one of the?biggest barriers?remains?access to university?itself. ??♀? Gender bias in research and innovation persists. The challenges faced by female researchers are often underestimated. The inequality in research careers continue to favour male role models, portraying success through solitary achievements and personal sacrifice, when in reality female roles tend to have less opportunities in education throughout their life. ???CATALISI is committed to bridging the gender gap?in academia and research. We actively?promote inclusion and diversity?in higher education, working towards policies that create?equal opportunities?for all. ???We have a webinar?to learn best practices that can contribute to Gender Inclusion in Higher Education ?? https://lnkd.in/eb7WSDJ4 Join the movement and help your institution?close the gender gap?and become a?leader in European values. #InternationalWomensDay #GenderEquality #HigherEducation #Inclusion #Diversity #WomenInSTEM #ResearchInnovation #CATALISI

???Success at the CATALISI MML workshop: ?????????????????? ?????? ?????? ????????????: ?????? ???????????? ?????? ???????????????? ??????????????!??? As the academic and labour market landscape evolves, developing?transversal competencies?is essential for researchers to remain competitive. We had very engaging sessions: ?? Findings from the “Predictive Studies on Transversal Skills Development”?– Suhida Dermani presented insights from EY study within the CATALISI project with over 45 vice-rectors and deans, along with surveys from 1700 PhD students across Europe. The research highlights a?critical gap in training opportunities?for researchers and the need for?flexible, practical training programmes, ???????? ???? ???? ?????????????????? ???? ?????? ???????????????? ?????????????? – stay tuned! ?? ?RM Comp: The European Competence Framework for Research Managers?– Dr. Olivia O'Leary,?CARDEA’s Project Manager, provided an in-depth look at this framework, explaining?who it is for, how to use it, and the micro-credential training opportunities?available to support researchers' professional growth. ?? ?Transferable Skills & Digital Ecosystem for Researchers?– Alessio Livio Spera (Project Manager & PATTERN Coordinator) and Kristian Hvidtfelt Nielsen (Associate Professor & PATTERN) introduced?eight training modules?designed to enhance researchers' transferable skills, strengthen research capacities, and improve career outcomes. They also shared details on PATTERN’s?digital ecosystem, providing access to valuable materials and courses. ?? To close the workshop, more than 100 attendees collaborated to identify key?challenges in implementing actions to support research careers and transversal skills?in higher education institutions (HEIs). These insights will inform?actionable policy recommendations?moving forward. A huge thank you to all our speakers and participants for such an insightful and inspiring discussion! ?? and special shout out to the organisers Laura Mentini and Stefania Laneve from APRE - Agenzia per la Promozione della Ricerca Europea ?????????????????? ???????? ???? ?????????????????? ???????? ???? ?????? ??????????????: https://catalisi.eu/ #ResearchCareers #TransversalSkills #HigherEducation #CATALISI #Innovation #Training #CareerDevelopment
