Agència de Qualitat i Avaluació Sanitàries de Catalunya (AQuAS) and INGENIO (CSIC-UPV) organize Els Dimarts de Ciència Transformadora, a community space for debate where contents and good practices are shared and where reflection and critical thinking on aspects related to science and research are invited, with people from the research ecosystem as protagonists.

Next session:

Research environments are diverse human communities driven by the forces of inquiry at the edge of knowledge in order to pursue “the new”. Research groups are the cells of such environments acting as micro-communities usually working in local (research centres, universities) and global scientific networks. So, individuals, groups and networks act as components of the science ecosystem which is increasingly open to other “outsider” players.

In these science ecosystems, leadership has commonly been understood and linked to the capacity of senior scientists (male mainly) to enhance the research performance. Let’s also take a complementary view of leadership as a process and as an “energy” that emanates from individuals, but also from the collective field, to unleash the capacities of these research environments.

So, in order to evolve towards a transformative science (transformative in the results and the process that conduce to them) let’s hypothesize that transformative leaderships are needed.
