Promoting JRC Scientific Excellence – some case studies
Promoting JRC Scientific Excellence - some case studies
On 23 November 2020 R&D sent our Director General, Mr Quest, a note with some comments and questions on three topics that we believe are of fundamental importance for the JRC.
Dear Mr Quest,
Firstly we wish to congratulate
the JRC management for its overall good handling of the difficult ongoing
coronavirus crisis. While urgent, we don’t wish that this distracts us from
other important topics of importance to the JRC.
We observe that the JRC sometimes takes impromptu decisions without sufficient consultation with the staff who find their work subsequently affected. A lack of supporting evidence leads to tensions which could have been avoided - especially unfortunate when aspects of the changes do have some merits and considering that our work at the JRC is precisely to provide evidence-based policy support.
We wish look more closely at decisions surrounding these three topics:
- JRC Editorial Review Board
- JRC's role in indirect actions under Horizon Europe
- Knowledge Management
UPDATE 17/12/2020
REPLY RECEIVED FROM MR QUEST, GENERAL DIRECTOR JRC, TO THE ABOVE NOTE
