La 8e conférence Living Knowledge aura lieu à Budapest du 30 mai au 1er juin 2018. Sciences Citoyennes y participe à la fois en tant que membre du comité de pilotage et à travers différentes contributions.
Le thème général est « Enriching Science and Community Engagement »
Il est possible de s’y inscrire à tarif préférentiel jusqu’au 30 mars !
Le programme est en cours d’élaboration mais les questions autour desquelles s’est structuré l’appel à propositions sont les suivantes :
- How to build on and enrich the public engagement in research practices (through RRI, Open Science, Open Innovation, Science Shops, citizen science, participatory governance, community-based research, inclusion of community members in advisory boards, etc.)?
- What are the most valued aspects of community-based engaged scholarship?
- How to assess impacts in science-community partnerships?
- How to nurture the debate about the place and role of “society in science” / “science in society,” and how to encourage the systematic and ethical involvement of civil society actors and their societal concerns in research and innovation processes?
- Science event organisers, educators, community organisers carry a lot of the weight in achieving successful ‘engagement’ – yet, many of their efforts, practices, and challenges go unnoticed, unacknowledged, or taken for granted (organisationally and monetarily). Sometimes leading to burnout, this lack of recognition kills creativity and the very drive of and purpose of engagement: what really matters gets swallowed by bureaucratic procedures, unfulfilled expectations, and lack of time/spaces for replenishment. What new arrangements exist or can be created/practiced to address this at the personal, organisational, and funding levels?
- How / do we fulfill our promises of community engagement? What are the critiques and expectations from institutions aiming at community engagement? How are these engaged with / addressed?
Comme avant chaque conférence Living Knowledge, une Summer School sur les boutiques des sciences mais plus largement sur les pratiques de recherche avec la société, se déroulera les 28 et 29 mai 2018.
