Studied Sociology, psychology, and communication studies in Dresden, Leipzig and Berlin where he graduated in sociology in 2007. From 2007 and 2010 he worked at the Fraunhofer Institute of Innovation and Systems Research in Karlsruhe in different projects on innovation policy and the governance of emerging technologies. In 2010, he began working as a teaching coordinator, designing and implementing the MA Program "Science Studies" which has been successfully introduced at HU Berlin in 2012. At the same time, he was also involved in a project on the regulation of data practices in German universities. Between December 2013 and 2016 he worked as a research associate in the DFG funded project "Reviews as legitimizing resource in emerging research fields" focusing on the case of synthetic biology. He was also involved in a project on core concepts, organizational and evaluation of Translational Medical Research funded by the Berlin Institute of Health. His research interests include: science and technology studies, innovation studies, network analysis, governance of biomedicine (with a specific focus on synthetic biology), as well as studies into digital scholarly practices. Clemens Blümel joined the DZHW in January 2017.

Science Diplomacy - Quo Vadis? Konsequenzen geopolitischer Konflikte für (multilaterale) Wissenschaftsmobilität.

Blümel, C., & Vögtle, E. M. (2022, September).
Workshop Science Diplomacy - Quo Vadis? Konsequenzen geopolitischer Konflikte für (multilaterale) Wissenschaftsmobilität auf dem Workshop Science Diplomacy - Quo Vadis? Konsequenzen geopolitischer Konflikte für (multilaterale) Wissenschaftsmobilität, DZHW, Berlin, Deutschland.
Abstract

The war in Ukraine has not only ushered in a "turning point" in military terms. This conflict also has far-reaching consequences for academic mobility and transnational academic cooperation - both for strategies and concepts in international research and academic policy and for research on academic exchange and multilateral cooperation between universities. In a joint workshop with representatives of science exchange organisations, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the Federal Foreign Office, parliamentarians and scientists, we discuss these consequences for science and politics.

Digital contestations of openness: dynamics and frictions in digitized scholarly communication.

Blümel, C. (2022, Mai).
Digital contestations of openness: dynamics and frictions in digitized scholarly communication. Vortrag auf der Konferenz STS Conference Graz 2022, Graz, Österreich.
Abstract

Open Science, it is often held, aims at enhancing the science and society relationship by making science more open, transparent, and accessible to the public, thereby restoring trust in scholarly knowledge production. Yet, in order to restore trust and to make science more accountable to the public, scholars are also expected to more openly communicate their ideas and findings to the public, exploring new channels for communication and interaction with wider audiences. This session aims to explore which frictions such practices of open communication face in the light digitalization.

Focus on ‘successful research’ leads to underestimation of research collaboration.

Hartstein, J., & Blümel, C. (2021, Oktober).
Focus on ‘successful research’ leads to underestimation of research collaboration. Vortrag auf der Konferenz 4S Annual Meeting 2021, The Society for Social Studies of Science (4S), Toronto, Canada.
Abstract

Science and Technology Studies, but also quantitative science studies carry a legacy of research evaluation, represented by concepts as diverse as the h-Index or Altmetrics, focussing on research output. Even research on research collaboration often aims at examining networks of (“successful”) knowledge production. Collaboration holds the promise to foster innovation – which is measured in scientometrics in terms of output. We argue, that digital traces of research in progress allow for gaining a more comprehensive picture of the research process and the research collaboration landscape. Failure does not invalidate research.
