| Summary: | To address the credibility crisis facing many disciplines, change is needed at the institutional level. Science will only function optimally if the culture by which it is governed becomes aligned with the way of thinking required in science itself.

The aim is for universities to become consistent with the flourishing of science and research more generally. |
