This course explores how definitions and expectations of excellence are shifting, from the perspective of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and beyond. Participants will examine global trends in research assessment, funding priorities, and academic culture, gaining insights into how these changes affect career development and research practice.

Designed primarily for early-career researchers, the course also provides valuable opportunities for more experienced academics to reflect on and contribute to a more inclusive and forward-looking vision of excellence.

Speaker: Prof. Stuart Lane, Swiss National Science Foundation Research Council Presiding Board
