This book was released on 2009 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science and technology (S & T) sector is constantly and rapidly changing, and with today's challenges is even more complex and diverse than before. The changing S & T paradigm has directly impacted the research and development institutes (RDIs) and in particular the nuclear RDIs. National science budgets are increasingly constrained resulting in direct cuts in subsidies, pressuring RDIs to seek alternative sources of funding. With the global trend towards more knowledge-based economies, the concurrent demand for innovation has increased in the S & T sector, and furthermore to the RDIs. Hence RDIs, and nuclear RDIs in particular, which fail to adapt to the changing S & T paradigm, risk 'lagging behind' in management, structure, planning, and funding, which all directly affect the sustainability of the institution. After the Second World War, RDIs in Central and Eastern Europe used to receive funding and guidelines from their governments. In the transition to the market economy, the mechanisms used to fund RDIs are changing, and the responsibility for defining the institutes' role and strategy is transferring to the institutes themselves. Consequently, the IAEA initiated a Technical Cooperation Project in 2004 to support RDIs working in nuclear power and non-power applications in Central and Eastern Europe. There were two major aims of this project. First, was to map the status of nuclear RDIs with current up-to-date data, because although there is a widespread feeling within the nuclear community that some nuclear RDIs are in financial distress, there are no current and verifiable statistical data on this point. Second, was to assist institute managers and senior scientists in nuclear RDIs, to improve their management practices and improve access to national and international funding opportunities. This report is focused on the first aim, to map the status with current statistical data, of 25 nuclear RDIs in 13 Central and Eastern European countries including Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, and further looks into the impact of S&T policies on these nuclear RDIs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principal goals of the study were to articulate the scientific rationale and objectives of the field and then to take a long-term strategic view of U.S. nuclear science in the global context for setting future directions for the field. Nuclear Physics: Exploring the Heart of Matter provides a long-term assessment of an outlook for nuclear physics. The first phase of the report articulates the scientific rationale and objectives of the field, while the second phase provides a global context for the field and its long-term priorities and proposes a framework for progress through 2020 and beyond. In the second phase of the study, also developing a framework for progress through 2020 and beyond, the committee carefully considered the balance between universities and government facilities in terms of research and workforce development and the role of international collaborations in leveraging future investments. Nuclear physics today is a diverse field, encompassing research that spans dimensions from a tiny fraction of the volume of the individual particles (neutrons and protons) in the atomic nucleus to the enormous scales of astrophysical objects in the cosmos. Nuclear Physics: Exploring the Heart of Matter explains the research objectives, which include the desire not only to better understand the nature of matter interacting at the nuclear level, but also to describe the state of the universe that existed at the big bang. This report explains how the universe can now be studied in the most advanced colliding-beam accelerators, where strong forces are the dominant interactions, as well as the nature of neutrinos.
Download or read book Fostering Integrity in Research written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integrity of knowledge that emerges from research is based on individual and collective adherence to core values of objectivity, honesty, openness, fairness, accountability, and stewardship. Integrity in science means that the organizations in which research is conducted encourage those involved to exemplify these values in every step of the research process. Understanding the dynamics that support â€" or distort â€" practices that uphold the integrity of research by all participants ensures that the research enterprise advances knowledge. The 1992 report Responsible Science: Ensuring the Integrity of the Research Process evaluated issues related to scientific responsibility and the conduct of research. It provided a valuable service in describing and analyzing a very complicated set of issues, and has served as a crucial basis for thinking about research integrity for more than two decades. However, as experience has accumulated with various forms of research misconduct, detrimental research practices, and other forms of misconduct, as subsequent empirical research has revealed more about the nature of scientific misconduct, and because technological and social changes have altered the environment in which science is conducted, it is clear that the framework established more than two decades ago needs to be updated. Responsible Science served as a valuable benchmark to set the context for this most recent analysis and to help guide the committee's thought process. Fostering Integrity in Research identifies best practices in research and recommends practical options for discouraging and addressing research misconduct and detrimental research practices.
