How can research on research contribute to a better management of university research?

Abstract

In recent years new forms of research organizations have been established at universities, which have been faced to a much higher degree with problems of research management. This circumstance provides the main reason for starting research on research in the university field on a new basis.In the 'Sonderforschungrbereich 7 9 , a large interdisciplinary research unit at Hannover University concerned with 'water research in the coastal area', a symbiosis and active co-operation was arranged between a small group of scientists engaged in research on research and a large number of scientists and engineers of several disciplines. The strong liaison between R o R scientists and their subject of investigation is institutionally organized. The purpose of this liaison is to involve R o R scientists in a feed-back process with a large university research organization and its actual management problems. The results to date have been encouraging and indicate that such an experiment can be a very worthwhile exercise.

University Research Management: Trends in International Studies

“…Penelitian atas efektivitas manajemen penelitian sudah menjadi hal yang urgen untuk dilakukan. Steck (1976) menemukan bahwa kegiatan eksperimen semacam ini bisa menjadi pendekatan yang baik untuk memperoleh model yang paling ideal. Analisis mikro pada efesiensi penelitian juga memberikan sumbangsih pada efektivitas pengalokasian sumber daya keuangan (Cherchye & Abeele, 2005).…”

Atom number calibration in absorption imaging at very small atom numbers

“…where Ω is the fluorescence detection efficiency and σ = σ 0 /(1 + + 4δ 2 /Γ 2 ) the atomic absorption cross section including corrections for the laser detuning and saturation, with σ 0 = 2 503 mW/cm 2 [8]. Figure 3 shows examples of dark-ground images of 115 to 1800 atoms.…”
