The Academia in Motion programme, focused on Open Science and Recognition & Rewards, has been underway for several years. The movement is increasingly taking shape in both policy and practice, within faculties, across the university, and in national and international contexts.

On Tuesday 12 May, we will come together to share outcomes and experiences and to engage in dialogue about the progress and future of the programme. The event consists of a Town Hall and a symposium.

In the morning, we will host a Town Hall in the form of interactive workshop sessions, where we will engage in dialogue on specific elements of the programme, such as faculty career policies, opportunities for PhDs, quality criteria, and publishing practices. In the afternoon, the symposium session will further deepen the conversation with participants, national programme Recognition and Rewards, and university leaders. Which changes are being implemented in practice? What stands in the way of optimal implementation? And what is needed to turn good intentions into everyday practice?

Why take part?
  1. Share your expertise and experience – and put them to use in the workshops.
  2. Learn from others – exchange insights and good practices with colleagues from different faculties and disciplines.
  3. Help shape the agenda – use the registration form to tell us which topics you consider important for the Town Hall.
  4. Contribute to the movement – your perspective is essential for deepening the conversation, taking concrete steps and making the impact of these changes visible in practice. Together, we can move the programme forward.
