Les sciences humaines et sociales au défi de l’évaluation : quelles leçons la Belgique peut-elle tirer du projet COST ENRESSH ?

Parce qu'elle se soumet très mal aux outils classiques de la scientométrie, l'évaluation de la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales (SHS) constitue un défi pour les chercheurs comme pour les décideurs, en Belgique comme ailleurs. Cette journée de séminaire portera sur ces difficultés, mais discutera également de leurs solutions en présentant une série de bonnes pratiques qu’ont révélées les travaux du réseau COST ENRESSH et qui rendent justice à la diversité et à la richesse de la recherche en SHS. 

Les places sont limitées. L'inscription est gratuite mais obligatoire.

--------------------------

Traditional ways of evaluating research often break down when applied to the social sciences and humanities (SSH). This poses challenges for researchers and policy makers, both in Belgium and elsewhere. This seminar will focus on current challenges for the evaluation of SSH research and present some of the good practices resulting from the ENRESSH project, which aims to improve evaluation procedures in order to take into account the diversity and the wealth of SSH research.

Places are limited, registration is free but required.

A seminar hosted by Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles and co-organized with COST ENRESSH, Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, University of Antwerp and hub.brussels.
