Keynote: scientific integrity

Bestor is particularly pleased to welcome Professor Gert Storms (KU Leuven, Faculty of Psychology) as keynote speaker at the ninth edition of the Young Researchers Days in Logic, Philosophy and History of Science. Professor Storms will talk about scientific integrity and its history, with a focus on violations of this integrity: scientific fraud. He will discuss not only spectacular cases but also “questionable practices in research” and what they teach us about the very nature of science. Read more and register via the link!

Podcast DHST
The DHST has launched a podcast series designed to support the professional development of early career scholars — and perhaps offer some useful insights for more experienced researchers as well. Each episode features conversations with international experts in the history of science and technology, covering a wide range of topics relevant to academic life today: from conducting oral history to publishing in academic journals and writing compelling book proposals. Give it a listen via the link.

Emile Francqui


Emile Francqui

On 16 November 1935, Emile Francqui passed away. Few people have left such a significant mark on Belgian science as he did. During the First World War, the ambitious businessman began advocating for a new system of scientific patronage. As a result, Belgian universities collaborated for the first time on a shared science policy. After the war, he built an extensive network — including the royal palace — and established various scientific and financial organizations. In 1928, he helped found the NFWO - FNRS.
