2021/10/01 – New PRIMA Grant at the TdLab
Dr Bianca Vienni Baptista, senior researcher at the Tdlab, has been awarded a external pagePRIMA Grant for the project "Investigating interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity: intersections of practices, culture(s) and policy in collaborative knowledge production" (INTERSECTIONS), funded by the external pageSwiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). The new research group is part of a dynamic and interdisciplinary academic community working in cultural studies of science and science and technology studies (STS).
Bianca will lead a research group focusing on understanding multiple relationships that exist between practices (researchers), cultures (knowledge) and policy (institutions) in collaborative research in Switzerland in order to improve the responsiveness to address societal challenges. For this, the team will use different qualitative methods to study three National Centres of Competence (NCCR) that represent the long-term efforts to combat complex and pressing societal challenges in Switzerland.
The project will expand the theories and methods used for investigating interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary by studying practices of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaboration. It will also focus on the current policy debates around the impacts of and funding of collaborative research.
The key outcomes of this research are (i) consolidating a research program for investigating interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity by opening new research directions incorporating anthropological perspectives, and (ii) contributing to the current policy discussions on collaborative research in Switzerland.
