The main focus of this conference is laid on scientific collaboration, quantitative aspects of communication in science, technology and science policy, the science of science as well as the integration of qualitative and quantitative approaches in evaluative contexts. In particular, the conference aims to contribute to evidence-based knowledge about scientific research and practices, which, in turn, is expected to further provide input to institutional, regional, national and international policy-making in research and innovation.
