Last week ECS received the Midterm Research Review Report of the International Advisory Board of the Wageningen Graduate School of Social Sciences. Staff of ECS was very pleased to read:
- The level of achievements in 2009 was assessed as very good, and since then the group has made remarkable progress in research.
- The group’s productivity has continued to be strong in all areas of action, and the earning capacity is good.
- To select competences as key interest and research target will guarantee the further development.
- Strategic and visionary planning, high developed communication and successful networking establish a combination to strengthen the group.
- The group has all the capacity to make the future they want, and to reach outstanding results.
We were expecting a very good review result since the global Citation Impact and the global Relative Impact of ECS publications fall in the top 2.5% of the population of competing groups in the social sciences worldwide. Nevertheless, it is rewarding to receive a positive Research Review Report like this.
