The esss 2024 in Vienna was a great success! We would like to thank all participants and speakers. The next esss will take place September 8 to 12 2025 in Granada/Spain!
The esss provides training and state-of the art insight into scientometrics with the corresponding methods, procedures, indicators as well as the available database products for scientometric analyses. The program combines theoretical knowledge and its practical application in various contexts ranging from research to the provision of scientific policy advice to research evaluation.
We train researchers, especially PhD candidates and early-career researchers, research managers, librarians and information scientists with a professional interest in science and technology indicators and their application.
As president of the ISSI (International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics) I highly welcome the esss initiative. The advantages and opportunities arising from collaboration and participation by members of several leading European institutes are manifold. Surely, students and workers in the field will benefit greatly, not only from the contents of the courses themselves but also by participating in a network of interested parties.
I wish all involved a successful partnership.
