Global Call on Science Missions for Sustainability

International Science Council (ISC)

 

 

Piloting the new modality of sustainability science

In the past, the global community has supported big science approaches in basic science and infrastructure, such as CERN. Now, it is the time to think with a CERN mindset to address urgent existential risks, particularly in the regions that face disproportionate burdens and impacts arising from global challenges, and where the SDG progress is lagging the most.

The Global Commission on Science Missions for Sustainability‘s groundbreaking report, unveiled at the 2023 UN High-Level Political Forum, “Flipping the Science Model: A Roadmap to Science Missions for Sustainability,” outlines this visionary model. It seeks to elevate the collaboration between science, policy, and society to new heights, tailored for our unprecedented era. The goal is to render knowledge fully actionable, integrated, and engaged, aiming for solutions that match the scale of humanity’s most critical challenges.

In the Flipping the Science Model report, the Global Commission proposes to establish a network of Science Missions for Sustainability. Each Mission will focus on mobilizing coordinated, collective science-based actions towards addressing complex sustainability challenges at the global, regional and local levels.

The ISC together with the Global Commission believes there is an urgency to pilot the new modality for science efforts. And this is the goal of the Global Call. 

 

 

Global Call for Pilot Missions and for Visionary Funders’ support

We’re seeking novel, innovative, collaborative, and diverse consortia to co-design and embark on groundbreaking Science Missions to tackle complex sustainability challenges head-on.

This Global Call aims to select up to five Pilot Missions to test the proposed model, thoroughly examining their execution, outcomes, and impact. Successful Pilots will set the stage for adapting and expanding the model.

The selected Pilots will demonstrate the value of truly collaborative transdisciplinary efforts in helping fast-track the achievement of the SDGs and accelerating societal transformation to sustainability. 

We invite novel collaborative consortia of scientists and scientific organizations, policymakers, non-governmental organizations, communities, and the private sector, working on the cutting edge of identifying solutions for complex sustainability challenges, to co-design targeted Science Missions for sustainability over an initial 18-month period. The call is open to bids for Pilot Missions worldwide, but we are strongly encouraging Pilots led by institutions located in the Global South to apply.

Call for Papers: Öffentliche, Transdisziplinäre und Transformative Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaft - neues Themenheft

MedienJournal

 

Umbrüche in der öffentlichen Kommunikation, Herausforderungen im Zuge von Digitalisierung, Datafizierung und Automatisierung sowie die gesellschaftlichen Krisen der Gegenwart verlangen eine verstärkte Auseinandersetzung mit unserem Selbstverständnis als Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaftler:innen. In den vergangenen Jahren ist in der deutschsprachigen sowie internationalen Forschung eine wachsende Anzahl an Studien (Arslan, 2024; Fürst et al., 2020), programmatischen Beiträgen (Brüggemann et al., 2023; Krüger & Meyen, 2018), ethischen Reflexionen (Davies, 2018; Krainer, 2023), Monographien (Waisbord, 2020) und Sammelbänden (Bélair-Gagnon & Usher, 2021; Waisbord & Billard, 2024) erschienen, die sich mit dem Verhältnis zwischen Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaft (MuK) und Gesellschaft beschäftigen.

 

Mit diesem Themenheft wollen wir die Reflexion zu und empirische Bestandsaufnahme von Öffentlicher, Transdisziplinärer und Transformativer MuK vertiefen und insbesondere zur Adressierung der folgenden Fragen einladen:

  • Wie stark schlagen sich Postulate einer Öffentlichen, Transdisziplinären und Transformativen MuK tatsächlich in unserer Forschungspraxis nieder? Welche Austauschformen sind bereits etabliert welche werden dagegen vernachlässigt?
  • Wie können wir die Anwendung transdisziplinärer Methoden und gesellschaftliches Engagement in der Breite unserer Disziplin und quer durch alle Statusgruppen stärken? Wie können wir mehr gesellschaftliche Gruppen intensiver in den Forschungsprozess einbinden (vgl. Schützeneder et al., 2022)?
  • Was sind Indikatoren für gelungene Projekte? Von welchen Good Practices oder Momenten des Scheiterns können wir lernen?
  • Wie kann Öffentliche, Transdisziplinäre und Transformative MuK auch auf die Lehre angewendet bzw. in ihr etabliert werden (vgl. z.B. Brüggemann et al., 2023, S. 5044–5045)?
  • Welche Chancen, Herausforderungen, Grenzen und Fallstricke gibt es (vgl. Schützeneder et al., 2022)? Wie wird beispielsweise damit verfahren, dass in Krisen- und Pandemiezeiten schnelle Antworten der Wissenschaft erwartet werden, obwohl wissenschaftliches Wissen stets vorläufig und die Wissensproduktion zeitintensiv ist? Und wie können wir etwa mit großen Zeitlimitationen im Berufsalltag potenzieller Forschungspartner:innen umgehen, die in Forschungsprojekten partizipieren sollten/könnten (z. B. aus dem Medienbereich)?
  • Inwiefern hat die COVID-19 Pandemie unseren Blick auf Öffentliche, Transdisziplinäre und Transformative MuK verändert (vgl. Fürst, 2021; Nielsen, 2020)?
  • Was können wir aus angrenzenden Disziplinen wie Soziologie, Politik- und Geschichtswissenschaft lernen und wie können wir uns stärker interdisziplinär zu Öffentlicher, Transdisziplinärer und Transformativer Wissenschaft vernetzen?

Special Issue: Educating for Societal Transitions

Higher Education Research and Development Journal

 

This special issue explores innovations in higher education that engage with societal transitions. We welcome scholarly contributions that engage with practices and theories that address the challenges of navigating complexity and change in these uncertain times. This call emphasises that universities cannot work in isolation but must engage collaboratively with other sectors of society. Importantly, it underscores a broader commitment to societal futures that goes beyond economic concerns, challenging the notion that the purpose of university education is to meet industry needs. What are the creative seeds of change emerging in higher education that challenge traditional university boundaries, foster partnerships with external stakeholders, and adopt a longer-term perspective?

 

This call is positioned within the context of approaching 2025, a decade since adopting the UN Sustainable Development Goals and five years before their targeted achievement in 2030. There is a growing recognition of the necessity for significant societal transitions and an increasing need to share ways higher education can support transition pathways. These transitions are essential to foster more sustainable and equitable practices across various sectors, including education, energy, food, healthcare, transport, and finance, among others. Higher education plays a vital role in preparing students to actively guide such transitions, developing our collective capacity to respond and collaborate across different backgrounds, contexts, disciplines and professions.

 

Submissions exploring the following themes are strongly encouraged:

  • Navigating complexity and change
  • Transdisciplinary curriculum and education
  • Mutual learning and partnerships
  • Social and environmental responsibility
  • Affect and activism in and beyond the classroom

Call for Contributions - International Conference on Knowledge Transfer

RWTH Aachen

 

Living Labs have become central research infrastructures for participation in innovation and sustainable development. They establish new environments of transdisciplinary knowledge production. However, the diversity and specificity of Living Labs across many different settings and areas – from urban planning, sustainable energy transformation and medical research to artificial intelligence applications – make it difficult to develop methods, standards, and indicators for successful knowledge generation and transfer. How knowledge integration in Living Labs is best achieved and supported remains a challenge and an open question for both theory and practice. The same holds true for ensuring knowledge transfer within and beyond Living Labs.

 

The international conference Knowledge Transfer in and through Living Labs seeks to identify and explore methods, standards, and indicators for successful knowledge generation and transfer. We are looking forward to host a vibrant community of Living Lab scholars and practitioners concerned with the theory and practice of a research and co-creation format which aims to build the society of tomorrow. Of central interest are the processes involved in combining different epistemic perspectives within Living Labs, and the changes knowledge undergoes while travelling between and among actors
involved, both directly or indirectly.

Call for Articles: Journal of Integrative Environmental Sciences special issue: Co-Creating Transdisciplinary Research and Learning for Transformative Socio-Environmental Change

Taylor & Francis

 

Transformative change is necessary for ensuring human well-being while addressing climate change and increasing biodiversity loss. Integrating knowledge is key for dealing with many complex socio-environmental challenges such as mitigating and adapting to climate change, transitioning to a circular economy, and tackling biodiversity loss and environmental degradation. However, for many of these challenges that the sustainable development goals (SDGs) attempts to face, scientific perspectives alone are insufficient:

 

Societal knowledge is needed to understand and define problems, identify alternatives, evaluate strategies, and design and implement processes. Transdisciplinary collaborations, collaborations that combine diverse societal and scientific knowledge, perspectives and values, provide opportunities to unpack the complexities of the environmental challenges the planet faces.

Call for Articles: ISSUES IN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES – Call for Papers 

Philosophy of Interdisciplinarity

 

Although interdisciplinarity—and its cognate “transdisciplinarity”—is a hallmark of contemporary knowledge production, it is itself still a contentious concept. What does interdisciplinarity entail, and what is its significance? How are interdisciplinarity and/or  transdisciplinarity distinct from other modes of knowledge production? What purposes does, could, or should interdisciplinarity serve?  

 

This special collection of articles will advance both a philosophy of interdisciplinary studies and a philosophy of interdisciplinarity itself. An assumption of the guest editors is that inter- and trans-disciplinarity can and should also be regarded as a challenge to (disciplinary) science in general and to the academy, raising fundamental and critical questions about science, the organization of the universities, the approaches to nature and to human-nature relations, to experimentation and explanations, forms of knowledge, and more. Acknowledging that interdisciplinary research often consists of case studies rather than more generalizable research, we also welcome articles that build a philosophical approach while integrating more detailed analysis of one or more cases of interdisciplinary research.  

 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

  • Responses to “What is inter- and/or trans-disciplinarity” and to “What should inter- and/or trans-disciplinarity be,” or equivalent global questions, critically building upon existing literatures 
  • Development of criteria, dimensions or elements for a conceptual clarification or a philosophy of inter- and/or trans-disciplinarity, including a justification of the criteria 
  • Articulations of ethics, value systems or normative basis in light of interdisciplinary research or teaching 
  • Tracing the history of inter- and trans-disciplinarity back to the 1970s or to earlier decades and linking it to the history of environmentalism, to the ambivalences of technological advancement, to the crisis of human-nature relations or to feminist, post-colonial and other critiques of science 
  • Reflecting on inter- and trans-disciplinarity as a cultural critique of (late modern) knowledge production. Are they still critical concepts or have they lost their critical momentum and original spirit? 
  • Situating and clarifying inter- and trans-disciplinarity in the light of concepts such as mode-2 science, post-normal science, post-paradigmatic science, post-academic science, technoscience, problem-oriented research, post-disciplinarity, triple helix research, transformative research, transition science, participatory action research, citizen science, technology assessment, sustainability research, social-ecology, etc. 
  • Expositions of how interdisciplinary thinking fits into the cultural history of thought and knowledge, and the tradition of the university system 
  • Conceptual and methodological analysis of cross-disciplinary connections between philosophy of interdisciplinary studies and other fields of research, such as sociology of sciences, philosophy of science, psychology, literature, environmental studies, political science, etc. 
  • Exploration of the impact of more recent philosophical debates around e.g. diversity, pluralism, epistemic virtues, positionality on interdisciplinarity.

Transdisciplinarity – Then and Now. Reflections on transformations and transformative potentials

EASST-4s 2024 Conference Amsterdam, - Esther Blokbergen, Sarju Sing Rai, Marjolein Zweekhorst, Hussein Zeidan

 

As transdisciplinarity (TD) becomes something of a “buzzword” in academic and professional circles, we wish to collectively reflect on TD’s original mission and development. How does the goal of creating new knowledge by transcending disciplinary silos and integrating perspectives from across scientific, academic, and societal boundaries, face up to today’s pressing “wicked problems”? Bringing together senior and junior scholars in open conversation, we aim to stimulate personal and practical reflections and insights from the field, and strategize on fruitful alliances with STS, as a research endeavor which shares TD’s transformative mission.

 

To reflect the hybridity and diversity of TD as research and practice, we welcome the active participation of researchers, practitioners and educators in all dimensions where TD is explicitly pursued – (global) health, sustainability, education, and policy-making, and of course STS. The VU’s Athena Institute will chair three different sessions, which are as follow.

  • Seed paper discussion panel: foundational/seminal text(s) of TD will be circulated in advance to guide a discussion by the selected panelists about the origins, mission and evolution of TD.
  • An open dialogue session will bring senior and emerging scholars into deeper conversation and exchange. Questions from the audience can be posed in oral or (depending on attendee numbers) digital format (e.g. Mentimeter); a wordcloud will be produced in real time with the discussion.
  • A split workshop session will process the insights from the first two sessions, allowing participants to contribute further to the discussion, and derive practical and inspirational input for their future work. One workshop can be dedicated to questions relating to TD research, the other (in parallel) to education, depending on participants’ interests.

Submissions for participation: Brief motivation (500 words max.) with appended seed paper suggestion(s), recent CV (preferably incl. publications).

Please note: In order to fit the conference submission format, we kindly ask for a contribution title/short description (300 words), and a brief abstract, (optionally) including one seed paper suggestion (300 words max.) Please disregard the requirements listed in the original description.

NRP84 Plant Breeding Innovation

SNSF

 

The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) is launching a call for the National Research Programme "Plant Breeding Innovation" (NRP 84) based on a mandate from the Federal Council.

Global warming, environmental degradation and our planet’s growing human population pose increasing threats to food security around the world. There is also increasing pressure to reduce the use of pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers and to protect biodiversity while maintaining or increasing productivity. A broad spectrum of approaches will be needed to meet these demands, including the development of new plant trait combinations that confer greater resistance to pests and diseases or continued productivity in the face of drought, flooding or rising temperatures.

The programme aims to identify and test new plant breeding technologies (NBTs), which involve targeted mutagenesis, DNA editing and cisgenic insertion of DNA constructs that do not lead to transgenic products, and to evaluate their application from agronomic, social, ethics, economic and regulatory perspectives in Switzerland. NRP 84 consists of three research modules.

  • Module 1: Technical feasibility – will evaluate the use of NBTs to generate crop varieties with traits that improve crop productivity and quality and that permit environmentally and economically sustainable agricultural practices in Switzerland.
  • Module 2: Ethics, society, and economics – will examine ethical issues and factors that influence stakeholders’ attitudes and interests as well as the economic viability of the use of NBTs in agriculture.
  • Module 3: Regulatory considerations – will formulate policy recommendations for regulatory frameworks that promote innovation for sustainable applications of NBTs and serve to reduce biosafety and environmental risks.

NRP 84 will operate with overall funding of 10 million Swiss francs for a research duration of 5 years.

 

Deadline for pre-proposals: 14 March 2024

NRP83 Gender Medicine and Health

SNSF

 

Interested researchers are invited to submit their pre-proposals for the National Research Programme by 14 March 2024.

The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) is launching a call for the National Research Programme "Gender Medicine and Health" (NRP 83) based on a mandate from the Federal Council.

NRP 83 aims to provide a knowledge base for an evidence-based implementation of sex/gender aspects in health research, medicine and public health in Switzerland.

It strives to (a) produce context-sensitive and transdisciplinary knowledge to understand sex/gender-related aspects in health; (b) improve and adapt clinical practice to include sex/gender specificities; and to (c) integrate a gender mainstreaming approach as an elemental part of the health system.

By calling for research projects and through coordinated activities, the programme sets out to bring about a change in practice in Switzerland.

The programme is structured around three modules:

  • Module 1: Sex/gender as a determinant of health
  • Module 2: Sex/gender in health care and clinical practice
  • Module 3: Sex/gender at the public health and policy levels

NRP 83 will operate with overall funding of 11 million Swiss francs for a research duration of 5 years.

Practice-based research of interdisciplinary higher education

University of Edinburgh

 

Practice-based Research of Interdisciplinary Higher Education is a collection that aims at building a community and building capacity around the study of interdisciplinary teaching and learning at universities and colleges around the world. The higher-education landscape is changing toward increasingly societally engaged models that re-position disciplinary silos. This change generates questions about ‘what works’ in interdisciplinary higher education and about the operationalization and implementation of the values behind this educational change. Research of interdisciplinary higher teaching and learning is currently being presented at conferences aimed specifically at exchange about practicalities and best practices, and the research also finds its way to conference proceedings in more general fields interested in the study of university and college education, liberal education, academic writing, team science, and so on. The literature about interdisciplinary higher education is currently scattered and research gaps are hard to identify, define, and defend.

 

So, there is a need for improving publication possibilities for practice-based projects using interdisciplinary teaching and learning as input for research and, vice versa, using research to improve interdisciplinary teaching and learning. This collection responds to this niche interest whilst explicitly striving toward maintaining the plurality of research approaches responding to the challenges of interdisciplinary higher education. Topics that will be considered include:

 

  • Conceptual Approaches of Multi-, Inter- and Transdisciplinary Higher Education
  • Integrative Teaching and Learning in Theory and Practice
  • Differences and Commonalities between Interdisciplinary Higher Education and Challenge-Based Learning, Community-Engaged Learning, Practice-Based Learning, etc.
  • Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning and the Sustainable Development Goals
  • Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning and the Inner Development Goals
  • Recognition and Reward of Interdisciplinarians at Universities and Colleges
  • Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning as Transformational Process
  • Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion in Interdisciplinary Higher Education
  • Co-creating Interdisciplinary Higher Education with Students
  • Educational Tools for On-site, Hybrid, and Online Interdisciplinary Higher Education
  • Assessment of Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning
  • Teacher Competences for Interdisciplinary Teaching
  • Governance of Interdisciplinary Programmes at Universities and Colleges
