esss overview
For the first time an international, cooperative platform has been
established focusing on the practical use of quantitative methods in
science studies and research evaluation. esss will combine standard
knowledge with current trends, presented by internationally renowned
experts.
esss will be internationally orientated using English as its language of
instruction, and it will be held in annual rotation at each of the
organizing institutions.
Cooperations with other institutions are welcome in order to bring esss to other interesting locations in Europe and beyond.
esss means more than just continuing education. It will also be a
discussion forum and an international meeting point for
scientometric experts and those who aim to achieve this status.
esss will provide a sound overview of state-of-the-art scientometric
indicators and methods. In addition, annually selected hot topics will
be addressed. Two conference-like introductory days addressing a broader
audience will be followed by three days with seminars, individual
hands-on sessions and teamwork in small groups.
In the medium-term, depending on the demand for extended esss course
work, it is planned to integrate esss into the postgraduate courses of
the University of Vienna and award attendees with ECTS points for
successful completion.
