td-net Webportal auch auf Deutsch und Französisch

td-net portail en français et allemand

 
 

Die meisten Seiten des td-net Webportals für Koproduktion von Wissen sind nun auch auf Deutsch und Französisch zugänglich. Die konkreten Methodenbeschreibungen bleiben in der Originalsprache; zurzeit meist in Englisch. Das td-net Team freut sich auf Beiträge in Deutsch und Französisch! Wer hat eine Methode entwickelt oder angewendet, die wir mit unserer Community von td Forschenden teilen könnten? Hinweise an td-methods@scnat.ch 

La plupart des pages du portail web pour la co-production de savoir ont maintenant été traduites en français et en allemand. Les profiles concrets de méthodes restent dans la langue d'origine; c'est-à-dire pour l'instant principalement en anglais. L'équipe du td-net se réjouit d'obtenir de nouvelles contributions en allemand et en français! Qui a développé ou appliqué une méthode que nous pourrions partager avec la communauté transdisciplinaire? Veuillez transmettre les indications à: td-methods@scnat.ch

Transdisciplinary Research Partnerships

 
 

TdResearch is a YouTube channel which shows a series of short video's on promoting ecological transition through transdisciplinary research. Researchers, citizens and stakeholders discuss key methods and design principles of inspiring transition research. The companion website to the "TdResearch" youtube channel provides background information on the short videos. YouTube Channel

 
   
 

A Study on Public Engagement of Science

 
 

You are invited to participate in a study examining scientific researchers' attitudes, intentions, self- efficacy, and willingness regarding engagement with the lay public about science. This communication and interaction with the general public about science is termed 'Public Engagement of Science' (PES) in science communication literature. Through this study, the international network for advancing and evaluating the social impact of science, AESIS, seeks to gain further insight into PES participation and how PES is viewed in the scientific community. To the survey

 
   
 

Strategies to deal with forced hostile collaborations

 
 

How to avoid forced hostile collaborations by identifying an acceptable alternative is described by Kristine Lund in this blogpost. Key constraints points are 1) figure out the motivations and constraints of those forcing the collaboration, 2) play to your strengths and find an alternative research niche where the hostile partner is not a major player, 3) find an equally good or better partner in the alternative research niche, 4) keep lines of communication open with those forcing the collaboration, 5) use the new partner to attract new powerful supporters.

Implementing the Sustainable Development Goals in Switzerland

 
 

The Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Switzerland mobilizes universities, research centers, civil society organizations, business and other knowledge centers to create and implement transformative solutions to achieve the Agenda 2030 and Paris Agreement in Switzerland and beyond. Congratulations to td-net's board member Janet Hering to her election as co-Chair of SDSN Switzerland at the General Assembly in February.

 
   
 

Challenge-Led Research Practices

 
 

Bristol University Press is announcing their new subject collection on Challenge-Led Research Practices.
The rise of interdisciplinarity, the popularity of co-produced research, the ever-increasing importance of impact and the decolonial turn present challenges to traditional approaches to research and provide innovative and pioneering new methods and theories with which to address the challenges of the 21st century.

Providing a richer assessment of research influence and impact

 
 

How capturing diversity in researcher influence & impact is essential for effective interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research is explored in this blog post. Reflective narratives on Julie Thompson Klein's work highlight the richness and range of individual contributions and the need to reward individual strenghts. Using reflective narrative requires attention to 1) contributor selection and 2) synthesis methods.

 
   
 

Project on formative evaluation, roles and science-society-interaction
