鈥極pen Science pioneer鈥 receives silver medal
During the Open Science on Track day on Wednesday afternoon, 13 December, Frank Miedema received Utrecht 木瓜福利影视鈥檚 silver medal from Rector Magnificus Henk Kummeling. Frank Miedema is an emeritus professor. Until 1 September 2023, he was the Vice Rector of Research at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 and Chair of the Open Science Programme.
Together with several other Dutch scientists, Frank Miedema took the initiative to organise a fundamentally different approach to scientific practice, focusing more on Society and less on the Scientist (metrics). He was one of the founding fathers of the 鈥淪cience in Transition鈥 movement, which helped get the significant cultural shift towards Open Science under way.
Henk Kummeling: As Chair of the Open Science Programme, Frank has worked tirelessly to promote this development at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 and externally. Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 has earned an incredibly positive reputation in this field, both in Europe and beyond. We at UU are incredibly thankful to him for that!
Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 awards the silver medal to people who have made an exceptional contribution to Utrecht 木瓜福利影视.
