VIRTUAL EVENT: The globalisation of science: the increasing power of individual scientists?

National science systems have become embedded in global science and countries do everything they can to harness global knowledge to national economic needs. 

However, accessing and using the riches of global knowledge can occur only through scientists. Consequently, the research power of nations relies on the research power of individual scientists. Their capacity to collaborate internationally and to tap into the global networked science is key. 

Globalisation of science provides more agency, autonomy, collegiality, and self-regulation to scientists embedded in national science structures and involved in global networks. 

In this talk, we will describe the globalisation of science using selected publication, collaboration, and citation data from 2000-2020.
