19 oktober 2012 | In the EU budget negotiations, both the Erasmus programme and the Horizon 2020 programme for R&D are under financial pressure. 'On the agenda' as well : Canada creates ‘impactintelligent’ universities and Cina is unpopular as destination for scienctists.

What is on the agenda for higher education stakeholders all over the world? Every week ScienceGuide.EU presents you a selection of the most important topics and items trending in social media.

Take 1 – EU Policy

Take 2 – R&D

@BritishCouncil: A fascinating field of research, ‘archaeoastronomy’, how people in the past understood phenomenons in the sky.

@ScholarlyKitchen: Should all scientific data be preserved? Dr. Droegemeier (university of Oklahoma) thinks not.
