Performance measures
for EBM
Think about properties of EBM
objectives
Haugen et al submitted
Perceptions & properties of objectives
Performance measures for
heterogenous objectives?
Global Biodiversity Framework: explicit & shared, knowledge
informed
Can we co-learn with GBF how to
overcome plurality of perceptions of
disciplines?
Fairness, values, benefits, equity, standards for process?
Restoring, enhancing, contributing, mainstreaming?
It is known that EBM prompts "scale" mismatches.
Are we also ignoring "objectives" mismatches in current EBM
implementation?
“Policy making, far from being a sphere in which science can be neatly separated from politics, is
a sphere in which they necessarily come together” Jasanoff 1990
Politicisation perceived as leading to “tainted” science
Researchers enveloped into grey area of negotiations & power dynamics
Consequences for researchers
Solutions
Personal & professional integrity
Trading transparency for discretionally
Advising instead of giving advice
ICES advice
principles
EBM objectives: less diamond
~ more picture with many dimensions
Challenges
roles of
• managers
• politicians
• rights holders
• civil society
Summary
& thanks!
• Heterogenous properties & perceptions of objectives
• Performance measures must acknowledge this
• Need to review assessment frameworks
• Researchers adapt modus operandi
 Accept plurality
 Ensure integrity, frameworks & discretion
