How can academic research engage society? How do researchers understand and strive for social impact through engaging society in their research projects? To explore these questions, we undertook a mapping of collaborative research projects across five ERUA alliance Universities. These projects reflect a great diversity of collaboration formats as well as thoughts about how researchers themselves understand what collaborating with society entails
Three collaborative experiments has been launched in 2022 and 2023 to analyse the collaborating processes with external stakeholders.
