Workshop 3 Who cares about responsible research – and how? – Auditorium MR002

Who cares about responsible research – and why?

Departing from a critique of the current mainstream organisation of universities and responsible research that is extensively market driven and subsequently potentially silencing important knowledge, we wish to re-connects research with society and permits inclusion of marginalised traditions in knowledge making. We argue that an embodied care perspective (e.g. Bellacasa 2017, Gilligan 1991, Butler 1995, Tronto 1993) is a fruitful approach to do so. We invite scientific discussants to present their views and debate with us.

Moderator: Katia DUPRET, Head of Research - Assoc Prof (RUC)

Speakers: To be confirmed

Target audience: Students, Scientists, Scholars

Workshop 4 Developing joint innovative teaching initiatives – Room A2-204

Developing joint innovative teaching initiatives

Two years into the ERUA alliance collaboration, we are still struggling to reach our goal of co-creating 15 innovative join teaching initiatives. Not because it has been difficult to find students who wish to participate, nor because it has been difficult to find teachers, who like the idea. In this workshop we wish to explore the reasons for this difficulty. To do so, we will present and invite to the discussion of some of the challenges and dilemmas, we have come to learn about, as both project-organizers and project-‘doers’.
The challenges as such are diverse. However, so far, they have had less to do with e.g. language barriers or cultural differences, than with organizational barriers; the place of teaching within academia; and overall conditions for Reform-university lines of thinking. The workshop is an invitation to discuss these matters collectively, to seek out positive trajectories for moving forward.

Moderator:Peter Busch-Jensen, Assoc Prof (RUC) & Garbi Schmidt, Prof (RUC)

Speakers: To be confirmed

Target audience:Students, Scientists, Scholars, Administrative staff

Workshop 5 Open Science Live Meet-Up – Room A2-201

1st ERUA Open Science Live Meet-Up: The Open Science Community – Perspectives, Approaches and Outlook

After eight sucessful virtual instalments, the ERUA Open Science Meet-Ups go live at the November 2022 ERUA Summit in Paris! Given that this will be the first time a meet-up takes place with an on-site community, we decided to dedicate this session to ourselves: The Open Science Community. To get there, Max Heber and Goran Sekulovski will briefly introduce what the term Open Science encompasses for all those who may be new to the topic. They shall also shed light on why it is a good idea to perform Open Science, along the lines of responsible research. After that, we will look together at which different ties there are that connect us with Open Science and what that indicates about the Open Science Community (or Communities?). Finally, we will look at how we will be able to pursue individual community-related matters further in the contexts of the subsequent virtual meet-ups.

Moderators: Maximilian Heber, Member of the Open Science Team (UKON), Goran Sekulovski, Head of Research Data (UP8)

Format: In Person at UP8

Target audience: Students, Scientists, Scholars, Administrative staff


Workshop 6 Intercultural Training in Higher Education: Opportunities and Limits – Room A2-204

Intercultural Competence - Chances and challenges

In the interactive workshop we will discuss together basics of intercultural competences - why are they so important and what do they actually mean? What is an effective and sustainable training and where are the limits? How can you improve your (own) intercultural competence? How does cooperation succeed in cross-cultural teams? Why are intercultural competences increasingly important at universities? Let's celebrate diversity together!

Moderator: Agnieszka Vojta, Intercultural Trainer/Coordinator Central- and Eastern Europe (UKON)
