The DST-Centre for Policy Research at Indian Institute of Science is pleased to invite you to a half-day event on
  "Eugene Garfield and Scientometrics"  Eugene Garfield in Memoriam  Faculty  Hall, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru
30 Oct 2017 | 10 am - 12.30 pm
This event is to celebrate the life and work of a man who not only had the imagination, pragmatic judgment, and immense energy required  to invent, produce, and develop a useful tool for a seemingly routine but fundamental task in science, viz. searching the literature, but also had a deep intuitive sense of the social, cultural, and cognitive structures latent in the practice of science. With  his visionary enthusiasm, Garfield saw in his creations a better science for society and the ideal of a unified body of knowledge accessible to all. The two speakers, between them, will cover the impact of the man and his work on science and scientists as  well as on the way performance in science is evaluated. We will also get to hear about how Garfield evolved from humble beginnings to a businessman, scholar and a polymath. Come listen to the fascinating story of the man whose creations have transformed the  fabric of science.
