Open for questions and discussion with the public
Did they know each other/know of each other’s research from before? How did they work to integrate perspectives from the life sciences and the social sciences and/or humanities? How did they proceed in practice:
- On the development of project ideas/project formulation/research questions?
- How often did they meet?
- Did they write together or separately?
- Did they encounter tensions due to interdisciplinarity and differences in approaches?
- What is important to keep in mind for newcomers wanting to develop new RRI projecs?
Kristin Asdal and Anne Kveim Lie will chair the discussion.
