Inmaculada Aleixos Borrás, PhD

I am an enthusiast of information management (in its broadest meaning)
and love helping others in managing information.

If something has not been done before, it's great news for me.
Thus, I can do it my own (best) way.

short introduction

(Nearly) everybody calls me Inma. I am from l'Horta (València, Spain). Yet, I have spent some periods of my life in Germany, UK, USA, and Canada.

My educational background is in the field of information with a specialization in data, information, records and archives, and in the way that people manage and interact with them. More recently, I have entered the fields of the sociology of science, STS, science policy, and philosophy of data.

Since August 2022, I have been employed as a post-doc researcher at the Institute of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Science (ENI) of the University of Stuttgart under the supervision of Ferran Giones with a 2-year MSCA fellowship. The project, entitled "Disrupting gendered stereotypes and disclosing neglected value-laden motivations of academic entrepreneurship" (UNGENDERED VALUES), has been granted the highest score (100).

The keywords below reflect both my work and research experience, and both my past and current research interests.
