CAPR Workshop -- Dalian, China

Peer Review, Research Integrity, and the Governance of Science
May 21-23, 2012
Dalian, China 


This workshop brings together leading researchers and science agency officials from three cultures – the United States, Europe, and China – to discuss how peer review functions within Western society today, and how Chinese institutions are developing their own models of peer review. 

Exploring the relation between peer review, the promotion of innovation and integrity within scientific research, and the governance of the institutions of science, this workshop's goal is to create an international community of theory and practice on the future of peer review and its role in science policy. 

The meeting will take place over 3 days. On Day 1 participants will give brief presentations. Ensuing discussions will be structured in terms of matching the needs of science policy analysts with the theoretical agendas of researchers. Day 2 will consist of informal conversations that will take place while traveling in the region. On Day 3 presentations will resume, with discussion devoted to identifying a common research agenda for moving forward.  Read more about the workshop at its official homepage...
