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.
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.
VA har utvecklat en rad hjälpmedel för science shops som en del i EU-projektet SciShops. De nya resurserna ger råd och tips om hur Science Shops kan startas, organiseras och drivas. Läs mer
As part of the EU SciShops project consortium, VA (Public & Science) has been helping to produce a range of resources to support both new and established Science Shops. The resources address various aspects of setting up and running a Science Shop and take into account different types of organisational models.
The 8th Living Knowledge conference was held in Budapest from 30 May to 1 June. Two VA colleagues, Helen Garrison and Martin Bergman, joined other SciShops partners to present some of the project’s work so far and gain inspiration from others in the Living Knowledge network.
