Jochen Gläser is a senior researcher at the Center for Technology and Society of the Technical University Berlin. His major research interest is the interaction of epistemic and institutional factors in the shaping of conduct and content of research at the micro-level of individuals and groups and at the meso-level of scientific communities. Current empirical projects concern national systems of research evaluation and funding in an internationally comparative perspective, the responses of German universities to evaluations, and the impact of changing authority relations on conditions for scientific innovation. Key publications include: Wissenschaftliche Produktionsgemeinschaften: Die Soziale Ordnung der Forschung, (Frankfurt am Main: Campus, 2006) and The Changing Governance of the Sciences: The Advent of Research Evaluation Systems, co-edited with Richard Whitley (Dordrecht: Springer, 2007).

He is an elected member of a number of learned societies, among them the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History, and Antiquities, and Academia Europea.
