Participant experiences
New Approaches
The multiscale approach was specifically original, also with the
possibility to interact in small groups (contrarily to conferences)
Unique experience of nimbios
The new and highly interesting for me was the
interdisciplinarity of the collaboration, which would not have
happened otherwise

Behavior Change
CASE STUDY
How do we detect/measure:
policy impacts?
scientific impacts (“shifting the paradigm”)?
ROI?
long-term value added to human capital (scientific and technical
capital)?
societal outcomes (serving your nation’s needs and long-term
interests)?
Are there data that can be shared across centers? How?
Moving forward

Editor's Notes

  • #6  So, as opposed to the number of SCs, no we are looking qualitatively at which categories in which participants are publishing pre to post. The gray background intersections are the 224 WOS Subject Categories from the science citation index I and the social science citation index, located based on cross-citation relationships among all WOS journals in 2007 . The 19 labeled “macro-disciplines” are based on factor analysis of that cross-citation matrix also. The gray lines linking the SCs are based on these overall WOS patterns, not the publications currently under study. Nearness on the map indicates a closer relationship among disciplines. Circular node sizes reflect the relative number of publications in the current study. SCs in which publications were more focused before, or in which there was no change in numbers of publications are lighter grey. SCs in which publications are more focused after affiliation appear as black nodes. SCs in which researchers published only after affiliation with the center are represented with white nodes. Map provides a visual perspective of a shift in publication SCs toward mathematical fields, with more gray nodes in the Ecological, Biomedical, and Agricultural Science discipline areas, and more black and white nodes in the Mathematical Methods, Materials Science, Computer Science, and Economics, Politics & Geography discipline areas.
