Journal Club for Diversity and Responsible Research and Innovation (DRIVERS)
The Journal Club for Diversity and Responsible Research and Innovation (DRIVERS)* meets online on the first Monday of every month at 11:00 a.m. to critically discuss selected literature on diversity and RRI, paying particular attention to how these topics intersect, and to the role of research assessment and its reform.
Jointly led by colleagues from NeuroCure, the Einstein Center for Neurosciences (ECN), the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH), and the BIH QUEST Center, DRIVERS brings multiple perspectives to the discussion.
We warmly invite you to join us and contribute your views! We strongly recommend that participants read the paper in advance.
The DRIVERS Journal Club is registered within the Charité Promotionsumgebung. If you would like to receive ECTS points for your participation in the DRIVERS Journal Club, reading the assigned literature in preparation for each session is expected (link), and active participation in the discussion is required. Please contact Katharina Grauel (katharina.grauel@charite.de) for further details.
