The next SYoS Workshop, jointly organised by the ETH Library and the University of Bern, will take place on 17 September at the University of Bern, Hauptgebäude HG, 3012 Bern.
During the workshop, the results of a survey conducted within the NAIF project (https://eth-library.github.io/naif/) will be presented and discussed. As part of Track 1 of the project, the study examined whether and to what extent Swiss higher education institutions use quantitative scientometric indicators (QSIs) in recruitment processes, evaluations, and institutional management.
The aim of the workshop is to develop a shared understanding of the findings and to jointly explore the implications for the Swiss higher education landscape. Participants will draw potential conclusions and formulate recommendations on the responsible use of QSIs in research assessment and university governance.
We look forward to welcoming many participants and kindly invite you to register using this email link by 30 August 2026.
