# Slow Science

**Slow Science** is an academic philosophy and movement that advocates for a shift in research culture, prioritizing quality, depth, and sustainability over the quantitative pressures of the "publish or perish" paradigm.

At the University of Greifswald, this concept was promoted through the **Slow Science Salon**, organized by the [[habilitierendennetzwerk-der-philosophischen-fakultaet]] and the Central Equality Office. The salon's motto, "Publish and Cherish instead of Publish or Perish," emphasizes the value of long-term intellectual engagement and the well-being of researchers over rapid-fire publication cycles.
