In February 2020, colleagues from Vetenskap & Allmänhet, VA (Public & Science) visited four organisations in the UK to learn more about their work and how they are supporting public engagement practices.
The Horizon 2020 SciShops project ran its final event, the SciShops Symposium, on 30-31 January. Almost 100 participants from all over Europe and beyond gathered at the University of Brescia in Italy for two days of discussions, reflections and networking around Science Shops and CBPR (community-based participatory research). As well as sharing the experiences and knowledge gained during the SciShops project, it was also an opportunity to explore future collaborations, which was embraced by all that attended. VA ran a workshop at the Symposium and moderated all of the plenary sessions.
Hur omsätter vi all den kunskap som forskningen genererar och hur gör vi verklighet av bra idéer? Svaren ges under årets upplaga av Forum för forskningskommunikation, Nordens största konferens och mötesplats för dig som jobbar med att kommunicera forskning. Årets tema Från vision till verklighet behandlas både genom framåtblickar och praktiska workshops, varav tre arrangeras av VA.
Science Shops were showcased as an innovative model for science-society collaboration at two events run by SciShops’ partner Vetenskap & Allmänhet, VA (Public & Science), on 8 & 9 October in Sweden.
För att lyckas med samverkan i praktiken bör man tänka långsiktigt, vara lyhörd för andras behov och våga prova sig fram. Det behövs en bred och flexibel syn på vad begreppet innebär för att främja svensk samverkan i stort. Det var några av slutsatserna vid Vetenskap & Allmänhets årskonferens VA-dagen den 8 oktober 2019.
Organisations conducting community-based participatory research are invited to participate in the SciShops Pitch Challenge. To participate, you need to present the research you are doing together with your local community in a three-minute video. We are looking for originality, creativity, enthusiasm and societal impact!
Between 1 and 4 July, the city of Limassol in Cyprus welcomed 45 participants from 15 different countries to the 2019 SciShops Summer School. With diverse backgrounds, ranging from researchers at universities to project managers in private companies, and varying levels of expertise in Science Shops, the participants gathered in this seaside city to learn together about many different aspects relating to the establishment, running and sustainability of Science Shops.
För att forskningen ska kunna ta sig an samhällsproblemen behöver forskare komma närmare samhället. En del av lösningen kan vara kunskapskiosker (science shops), ställen där allmänhet och civilsamhälle samverkar med forskare för att ta fram ny kunskap. Under Almedalsveckan 2019 slog vi upp en kunskapskiosk i Visby för att ta reda på vad Almedalen ville forska om.
Science Shops can be an effective model for developing mutually beneficial relationships between academia and society. By working together to find solutions to societal issues, students/researchers get to work on real-life problems and civil society organisations get access to research expertise and new knowledge.
