Tune in on 14 November (20:30 UTC) to discover the winner of the first edition of the ‘Sarah Jones Award’, organised by the Research Data Alliance.
Established in memory of our dear colleague Sarah Jones, the award recognises individuals who have demonstrated exceptional contributions to fostering collaboration in #OpenScience.
We at GÉANT are proud to support this initiative and invite our community to watch the ceremony and join us as we celebrate Sarah's memory.

In a world of howling idiocy around technology, eduroam is amazing - a collective wifi network, across institutions and countries. I turn up at a University and it just works. Who do we have to thank for this miracle existing?
@tomstafford That would be @klaas And of course the global NRENs that support it (Jisc in the UK)😃

NEW! Based on survey data, we find a disjunct (‘value dissonance’) between researchers' personal beliefs and perceived institutional priorities regarding what should matter in review, promotion and tenure. https://doi.org/10.1093/scipol/scad073
