scienceguide: Wetenschap zoekt belangen verstrengeling
2 november 2011 - Volgens een enquête van de Jonge Akademie en het Rathenau Instituut staan jonge onderzoekers positief jegens valorisatie. Maar dit roept direct nieuwe en oude vragen op. Hoe past valorisatie in het onderzoeksysteem? En wat is het eigenlijk? “Valorisatie in optima forma is dat je onderzoek in de Donald Duck staat.” Peter-Paul Verbeek, voorzitter van de Jonge Akademie presenteerde tijdens de Valorisatieparade van het Rathenau Instituut de uitslag van de Relevantiewijzer , een zelftest om te ontdekken hoe valorisatie bij een onderzoeker past.selling your rights / your choise / your access for .......?

10 november 2011 - De affaire Stapel dwingt de wetenschap tot zelfreflectie in de omgang met datagegevens. De KNAW heeft besloten een commissie in het leven te roepen die gaat onderzoeken hoe in verschillende disciplines met onderzoeksgegevens wordt omgegaan. Onder leiding van KNAW-lid prof. dr. mr. Kees Schuyt zal de commissie 'onderzoeksgegevens in de wetenschap' de komende zich de komende maanden bezighouden met:

deeltijd hoogleraren
Een Akademiehoogleraar is een hoogleraar die door de Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen (KNAW) in staat wordt gesteld om zich gedurende vijf jaar naar eigen inzicht bezig te houden met wetenschappelijk onderzoek en onderwijs, zonder de bestuurlijke verplichtingen die gewoonlijk tot zijn takenpakket behoren. Het gaat om hoogleraren die aansprekende wetenschappelijke prestaties hebben geleverd. De eerste Akademiehoogleraren zijn in 2003 benoemd.

Government debt (also known as public debt , national debt ) [ 1 ] [ 2 ] is the debt owed by a central government . (In the U.S. and other federal states , "government debt" may also refer to the debt of a state or provincial government , municipal or local government .) By contrast, the annual " government deficit " refers to the difference between government receipts and spending in a single year, that is, the increase of debt over a particular year.

Private finance initiative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The private finance initiative (PFI) is a way of creating " public–private partnerships " (PPPs) by funding public infrastructure projects with private capital. Developed initially by the Australian and United Kingdom governments, PFI and its variants have now been adopted in many countries as part of the wider neo-liberal programme of privatisation and financialisation driven by an increased need for accountability and efficiency for public spending, national governments, and international bodies such as the World Trade Organization , International Monetary Fund , and World Bank . PFI has been controversial in the UK; the National Audit Office felt that it provided good value for money overall. [ 1 ] However more recently the Parliamentary Treasury Select Committee found that " Higher borrowing costs since the credit crisis mean that PFI is now an ‘extremely inefficient’ method of financing projects ". [ 2 ] [ edit ] OverviewCommittee publishes report on Private Finance Initiative funding - News from Parliament - UK Parliament
"We can’t carry on as we are, expecting the next generation of taxpayers to pick up the tab. PFI should only be used where we can show clear benefits for the taxpayer. We must first acknowledge we’ve got a problem. This will be tough in the short term but it should benefit the economy and public finances in the longer term.Public–private partnership - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Public–private partnership ( PPP ) describes a government service or private business venture which is funded and operated through a partnership of government and one or more private sector companies. These schemes are sometimes referred to as PPP, P3 or P 3 . PPP involves a contract between a public sector authority and a private party, in which the private party provides a public service or project and assumes substantial financial, technical and operational risk in the project. In some types of PPP, the cost of using the service is borne exclusively by the users of the service and not by the taxpayer. In other types (notably the private finance initiative ), capital investment is made by the private sector on the strength of a contract with government to provide agreed services and the cost of providing the service is borne wholly or in part by the government.Allen & Overy | Knowledge | Global Guide to Public-Private Partnerships (PPP)
Asia Pacific Guide to Public-Private Partnerships (March 2012) With USD billions of infrastructure required in the Asia Pacific region, the Guide highlights how governments are turning to PPP as a means of utilising private sector investment to deliver both much-needed infrastructure and vital economic stimulus. There is great variation in the extent of development and use of PPP in this region - some countries are taking the first steps to implement PPP policies and legislation to create an environment conducive to procuring projects via PPP models, while others are looking to shore up and promote their existing PPP markets. Australia, Japan, Singapore, Korea and, to a certain extent, India have been quicker off the mark in terms of developing genuine frameworks, but recently there has been significant interest and development in PPP regimes from ASEAN countries including Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines.'Free' Education
