On Wednesday, June 9, 2021, colleague Rosa Kuipers gave a presentation at the annual EU-SPRI European conference in collaboration with Matthijs Janssen (Dialogic and Utrecht University) and Jarno Hoekman (Utrecht University). The conference, themed 'Science and innovation – an uneasy relationship? Rethinking the roles and relations of STI policies', was held in Oslo this year.

The research presented by Rosa, titled 'Towards Science for Society – A multicriteria mapping study on university policies for enhancing societal impact of Dutch academic research', is a continuation of her graduation research from 2019 conducted at Dialogic as a student at Utrecht University. Together with Matthijs and Jarno, the intention is to publish the research soon. A draft version of the paper was shared with other scientists prior to the presentation, allowing them to provide feedback to further enhance the paper. The presentation and draft version of the paper were well received, resulting in valuable feedback points. The applied methodology and research findings were also found inspiring!
