The article discusses the process of institutionalization of teaching political science in Colombia between 1968 and 2012. It is based on an approach to institutionalization of disciplines that includes teaching, research and the academic community, but it only develops the first dimension. The central argument is that on the basis of significant events we can identify three periods, and that each of these corresponds to different degrees of institutionalization. The first (1968-1989) corresponds to the beginnings and s characterized by a weak institutionalization, in addition to an exclusive focus on Bogota and private universities. The second period (1989-2000) corresponds to a gradual expansion, but with high concentration and disciplinary structural weaknesses. The third (2001-2012) is the expansion and progress of this institutionalization, with different situations and different degrees of consolidation, depending on the type of university and their rganizational structures and support. ; El artículo da cuenta del proceso de la institucionalización de la enseñanza de la Ciencia Política en Colombia y abarca el periodo 1968-2012. Parte de un enfoque de la institucionalización de las disciplinas que incluye a la docencia, la investigación y la comunidad académica, pero solo desarrolla la primera dimensión. El argumento central es que podemos diferenciar tres momentos o periodos a partir de eventos significativos y que cada uno de estos corresponde a grados diferentes de institucionalización. El primero (1968- 989) corresponde a los inicios y a una débil institucionalización, además de su concentración exclusiva en Bogotá y en universidades privadas. El segundo (1989-2000) corresponde a una expansión gradual, pero con alta oncentración y debilidades estructurales de la disciplina. El tercero (2001- 012) es el de la expansión y un avance en su institucionalización con situaciones diversas y grados diferentes de desarrollo según el tipo de niversidades y los soportes organizativos con que cuenten.

Press release on Eurodoc input on UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science written by Andrea Claudi In October 2019, during its 40th General Conference, UNESCO set out its intention to draft a Recommendation on Open Science (OS) to be adopted by Member States in 2021. To build a global consensus on OS, UNESCO decided to adopt an "inclusive, transparent and consultative process", including an online survey, which they launched in February 2020. A first draft of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science was published on 31 December 2020, and a second draft is expected to be published by the end of March 2021. Eurodoc participated in the whole process to express the European early-career researchers' point of view on Open Science. Eurodoc considers Open Science to be a main pillar in career development and evaluation of ECRs and 19 January 2021, Eurodoc sent a comment on the first draft of the Recommendation on Open Science to UNESCO, identifying key aspects and obstacles on the path towards OS. Among the key aspects, Eurodoc highlighted the importance of training and support on OS practices and skills, and of the implementation of a proper reward system, including ECRs' career assessment. Among the obstacles, Eurodoc directed UNESCO's attention to the imbalances between different countries, institutions and disciplines that could hinder the spread of OS. Inês Almeida, Open Science and Employment and Careers WG co-coordinator comment: «Open Science (OS) is becoming the new standard in the research & innovation arena, contributing to better research practices, fairer research assessment, better dissemination of knowledge and access to it, and the increased participation of society. However, there is currently no clear consensus on a OS definition, nor a strategic plan worldwide for this transition. For a successful implementation of OS, all relevant stakeholders should be involved, including researchers. However, the governments and institutions advocating for OS are not necessarily aware of the specific needs of ...

The Association of Bimolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) annual meeting was held in Palm Springs, California, USA on February 29-March 2, 2020. With 860 in attendance, the conference program featured five satellite workshops, one eminent scientist talk, four keynote talks, 24 sessions, 2 poster sessions, and fourteen technology showcases. The theme of the meeting "Empowering Team Science" encompassed bench to bedside, including extraterrestrial microbes, single cell 'omics, multi 'omics, quantitative imaging, multidisciplinary research, shared resource management and precision medicine. Presentations on technology and applications for genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, imaging and cytometry based multidisciplinary research from shared resource core laboratories continues to be the focus of the conference. Highlighted this year were the ABRF Research Groups and studies designed and analyzed to inform scientific rigor in research performed across multi institutional academic, government and industry laboratories.
