Follow online (link to follow.)

The workshop will be organised as follows:

On the 30^th April, participants are invited to follow online the streamed symposium ‘Sick Society’, organised by SVT, which explores the relation between knowledge and action in a pandemic. Participants will be asked to pay particular attention to the last session, from 16:00-17:30, which is a panel discussion composed of people who had to work under the lockdown in March-April 2020, and apprehend the new measures in order to keep their activities going, in schools, kindergartens, hospitals and newspapers.

On the 3^rd and 10^th May, participants will gather for a reflexive workshop on what RRI and CSR look like ‘at speed’, together with the organisers Anne Bremer and Magdalena Wicher. There is one week between the two workshop days, to allow participants to reflect on key questions about their own research context, and prepare a presentation that they will give on the last day of the workshop.

Open to all: PhD candidates, early career and senior researchers, R&D practitioners; both from AFINO and broader RRI/CSR networks

Optional credits: 1 ECTS.

Assignment: The 1 ECTS is based on preparatory readings, attendance to the workshop and on giving a presentation at the end of the workshop.

Reading list: to be communicated
