Schuster delves into various quantitative and qualitative approaches to assessing excellence in research, emphasizing that a fair evaluation of scholarly performance relies on the informed opinions of experts within each discipline. In his farewell address, he addresses the unique challenges faced by the Austrian Academy, which serves both as a society of scholars and an active research institution. Drawing from his extensive experience as a scientist, Schuster shares his insights and encourages reflection on how to enhance the Austrian scientific landscape, ensuring it is well-prepared for an increasingly competitive future. This booklet serves as a thought-provoking contribution to the ongoing discussion about the future of scientific research in Austria.
