Novelty and Inequalities in Science: International Research Symposium on Recognizing and Rewarding Novelty in Science

This international research symposium, organized by the Czech Academy of Sciences, investigates how scientific novelty is recognized, rewarded, and distributed across academic systems and institutions. The event brings together sociologists of science, scientometricians, and science policy researchers to examine structural inequalities in how breakthrough discoveries are identified, credited, and funded. It aims to develop frameworks and metrics that better capture and promote genuine novelty within the scientific enterprise.
