Short description off the department / unit (strengths and scientific achievements, such as publications, patents, etc., important infrastructure – up to 2000 characters with spaces):

The Science Studies Laboratory is an interdisciplinary research group at the University of Warsaw. Our work focuses on quantitative science of science, qualitative science studies, research policy and practice:

  • we create new stories. Our research extends beyond the mainstream discussions of science, technology and innovation policy.
  • we apply rigorous methodological approaches. All our research is transparent and replicable.
  • we believe in open science. We strive to make our research results available to everyone.
  • we work with practitioners. Conclusions and recommendations from our research change the way institutions operate.
