Participatory research
Promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration and bridging the gap between science and society
It will not be possible to address the challenges of tomorrow without renewing not only our knowledge but also the conditions and frameworks that govern its production.
Interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary research, as well as participatory research, aim to integrate different perspectives or disciplines into the production of knowledge. They are often presented as solutions for tackling complex issues. However, these approaches cannot be decreed; they require expertise coupled with a genuine willingness to innovate beyond the “traditional” practices of the academic world.
Our expertise in facilitation and our role as a third-sector research actor enable us to support innovative research processes involving a variety of actors or disciplines.
We build bridges to include diverse types of knowledge, including non-academic ones, in committed approaches to co-producing knowledge.
We operate either as a service provider, supporting academic actors, or as a partner, when the research project has a participatory or collaborative dimension.
