Indeed a relevant but overlooked non-properly-rewarded way of (potentially) having an impact in society from academic knowledge, and also learning from society's knowledge and expertise. An interesting (historical) question would be the socio-political context in which this two-way transfer instrument came into being and was adopted by universities. Was it to compensate the burdens and cumbursome process of transferring knowledge in the form of patents/spin-offs/start-ups? Julia Olmos Peñuela Ana García-Granero Oscar Llopis Francisco Javier Ortega-Colomer I look forward to knowing more about this phenomenon, and the different meanings and uses that different actors and/or stakeholders attach to it.

Are you doing research in peace and conflict studies? Merel Selleslach, Nils Duquet and I are looking forward to submissions to the workshop "Addressing Contemporary Challenges to Global Peace and Security" at the upcoming meeting of the Dutch-Flemish political science community in Maastricht. The workshop endeavours to adopt a comprehensive approach to peace research, encompassing diverse methods (quantitative and qualitative) and levels of analysis (local, national, international), research perspectives (international relations, comparative politics, peace & conflict studies), and policy domains. Central to the discussion is an exploration of the multifaceted role that peace research can assume within policy frameworks. Emphasis will be placed on how insights derived from peace research can guide policymakers in formulating effective responses to the prevailing challenges for peace and security at local, national, and international levels. The workshop will be organized in four panels focusing on (1) everyday peace in the Low Countries, (2) international peace and security, (3) post-conflict peace peacebuilding, and (4) an interactive discussion on challenges and opportunities for policy impact.

This video was taken by me in the study area in Germany as part of my M.Sc. thesis. Although evidence shows different phases of the Weichselian glaciation in Mecklenburg Western Pommerania, there remains a vast scope of the glacial study. This study tried to find potential drumlins in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. If you are interested, read my research on @ResearchGate: https://lnkd.in/ehjf3_vy

🌐 On 12-14 June, the Max Weber Programme held its 18th Annual Conference under the theme 'Continuity or rupture: towards an interdisciplinary inquiry'. More than 90 participants gathered across 18 panels to reflect on the current state of academia and exchange ideas between disciplines 💭 📄 Read the main takeaways from the conference: https://loom.ly/uiB539Y

How do we, as researchers, impact the research? What are the biases in your approach that you can work on neutralising? In which stages of the research process can we integrate reflexivity? Which aspects of subjectivity can be viewed as beneficial/valuable? How do we deal with what we do not know? If you are interested in this topic, join us in Workshop 2: Self-Reflexivity as a Skill to Support Young Researchers in Bridging Theory and Practice: Innovations in Urban Planning Communication" at the AESOP Young Academic Conference. 🏢 Where: Room 2.2.1, Building 2, Leonardo Campus ⏲ When: 09:30–13:00, March 22 🛄 Objective: to help participants reflect on areas of their personal and collaborative work, where reflexivity can help them be more socially and epistemologically responsible. I would like to say thanks to my colleague Aamina Hashmat, our collaborators and discussants: Farah Makki, Beatrice Maria Bellè, Giada Casarin, PhD, Dimitra Xidous, Carolina Pacchi and AESOP YA 2024 Local Organizing Committee, which is led by Abdallah Jreij, Dafni Riga, Danila Saulino.

Gentle reminder that we have a call for abstracts for the Grounded Theory Conference in September. The conference is titled "Grounded Theory Futures". What do you think will be the next steps for grounded theory? More information coming soon on the conference!
