How the COVID-19 pandemic changed stakeholder engagement processes in sustainability research in the long-term.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic affected stakeholder engagement in sustainability research projects in many ways. But which effects appear permanent today, after the pandemic ended?

Methods: To address this, we interviewed researchers and stakeholders and carried out a survey among European sustainability research projects in 2022.

Results: We find that the pandemic years disrupted stakeholder-based research, also with lasting effects.

COVID-19 vs. stakeholder engagement: the impact of coronavirus containment measures on stakeholder involvement in European energy research projects.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has affected societies and economies around the world, and the scientific community is no exception. Whereas the importance of stakeholder engagement in research has grown quickly the consequences of the pandemic on this has so far not been empirically studied. In this paper, we investigate the effects of the COVID-19 crisis on European energy research, in particular the stakeholder work, during the first wave of the coronavirus in spring and summer 2020.

Network reconstruction based on proteomic data and prior knowledge of protein connectivity using graph theory.

Modeling of signal transduction pathways is instrumental for understanding cells' function. People have been tackling modeling of signaling pathways in order to accurately represent the signaling events inside cells' biochemical microenvironment in a way meaningful for scientists in a biological field. In this article, we propose a method to interrogate such pathways in order to produce cell-specific signaling models.
