    Open Access in 2020: up by 8 percentage points SNSF-funded research produced a total of 13,938 publications in 2020, 63% of which are freely accessible. Upgrades in monitoring capabilities make the positive trend towards more Open Access (OA) more readily visible.

    Datastory: The SNSF funds over 80% of researchers from Switzerland before their first ERC grant Researchers working in Switzerland are very successful with applications to the European Research Council (ERC). Our analysis shows: By 2019, 84% of these grantees had previously received funding from the SNSF.

    Datastory: Are women submitting fewer grant proposals? Studies and surveys confirm that during the COVID-19 pandemic, women’s workload at home has increased. Does that mean women researchers are also submitting fewer proposals to the SNSF? Analyses show that, with one exception, their share has remained stable.

    Pandora's Signal Boxes

    No full text
    Included here, dear reader, is a discussion that took place between media and design author and scholar Shannon Mattern and perennial continent. probationer Jamie Allen. The conversation occurred on a rather rainy and cold day, on a walk that Shannon and Jamie took through Basel, Switzerland, toward the Central Signal Box building. Shannon Mattern had come to Switzerland at Jamie’s invitation, as part of a lecture series called “Medialogue”, held jointly by the Critical Media Lab Basel and the Medienwissenschaft group at Universität Basel. The Signal Box is an infrastructural landmark that delimits a transition between residential and (formerly) industrial zones in Kanton Basel-Stadt. The building was designed by locals, stalwart innovators and ‘starchitects’ Herzog and Herzog & de Meuron, whose numerous offices and archives in Basel are all but a few minutes’ tram-ride away.https://continentcontinent.cc/archives/issues/issue-5-3-2016/pandora-s-signal-boxe

Her research focuses on the social dynamics of world political orders and their transformations. She teaches courses on international relations theory, criminality and transnational crime, international ethics, sovereignty, as well as international organization, especially global governance and transformations in world order. Her current project, tentatively entitled Illicit Sovereigns, examines the role of emotion in mobilizing transnational crime networks to transnational political violence. Bially Mattern is the author of Ordering International Politics: Identity, Crisis, and Representational Force (Routledge, 2005). She has written a number of journal articles and book chapters on topics ranging from soft power and language power to the politics of identity.

    Maßnahmen gegen Jakobskreuzkraut Senecio jacobaea - langfristige Aspekte auf Wirksamkeit und biologische Vielfalt

    No full text
    Jakobskreuzkraut (Senecio jacobaea) bereitet zunehmend Probleme auf extensiv geführtem Grünland. Im Jahre 2011 wurde im Rahmen einer Masterarbeit ein Grünland-Großparzellen-Versuch unter Praxisbedingungen angelegt, um die Wirksamkeit verschiedener agronomischer und chemischer Bekämpfungsvarianten gegenüber Senecio jacobaea zu vergleichen. Neben Umbruch mit und ohne Glyphosatbehandlung, wurden Glyphosat mit Neueinsaat (ohne Umbruch) und Simplex (Fluroxypyr+Aminopyralid) mit und ohne Nachsaat geprüft. Ab Herbst 2011 bis 2017 wurden zusätzliche Düngungsvarianten (2 x 50 kg/ha bzw. 1 x 50 kg/ha Kalkammonsalpeter mit 27 % N pro Jahr) in Form von Kleinparzellen in die bestehende Versuchsfläche eingefügt. Seit 2011 wird jährlich die Wirkung der verschiedenen Maßnahmen gegen S. jacobaea bonitiert. Darüber hinaus wird seit 2013 durch Vegetationsaufnahme nach Braun-Blanquet 1964 die Bestandszusammensetzung erhoben. Alle Maßnahmen hatten bis einschließlich 2016 eine dauerhafte Wirkung gegen Jakobskreuzkraut. Darüber hinaus war eine statistisch signifikant verringerte Anzahl an dikotylen Arten feststellbar. Der Unterschied zwischen den Varianten blieb diesbezüglich vergleichsweise gering. Die regelmäßige Düngung führte zu ähnlichen Effekten wie eine einmalige Anwendung von Herbiziden oder Umbruchmaßnahmen. Die stärkste Verringerung der Artenzahl war bei einmaliger Simplex-Anwendung mit nachfolgender regelmäßiger Düngung feststellbar. Die Untersuchungen belegen, dass Jakobskreuzkraut sowohl mit Herbiziden, als auch mit Umbruch oder Düngungsmaßnahmen wirksam zu kontrollieren ist. Allerdings ist dies nicht ohne einen Verlust an Biodiversität (Reduzierung der Artenzahl dikotyler Pflanzen) zu erreichen

    SNSF Datastory: Initial preliminary figures on SNSF funding in 2021

    No full text
    SNSF Datastory: Initial preliminary figures on SNSF funding in 2021: We invested 882 million francs in new projects, fellow-ships and publications. Half of the funds went to project funding. In this funding scheme, experienced researchers carry out projects on self-chosen topics. We used a quarter of the budget to promote the careers of young researchers, and 20 per cent to support research teams participating in programmes. The remaining funds were allocated to infrastructures and science communication. At the end of 2021, approximately 5700 SNSF-funded projects were underway, involving 20,000 researchers at universities and other institutions. Most projects last several years
