The OpenLab.brussels (VUB-ULB) is organizing a conference that aims to bring together contributions from researchers and practitioners interested in participatory research projects 🙋♂️   They welcome a wide variety of contributions: junior and senior academics, practitioners, public administration, private companies, associations, and other stakeholders who are interested in participatory research. Everyone is welcome to share their knowledge and experience about existing initiatives and projects, as well as ideas for new projects that could contribute to developing participatory research practices in Brussels and its neighbourhood. Selected contributions will even be reviewed and published in a special journal issue 📓   Interested? Find all the information here: https://lnkd.in/eb8j3_ZD!

Evidence is alive. We learn new things, rediscover old things, and new understandings and perspectives emerge. Ensuring evidence is living is a cornerstone of evidence infrastructure, this latest research found. "[Living evidence systheses] can play a critical role in reducing research waste and ensuring alignment with advisory and decision-making processes. This critical interpretive synthesis provides relevant insights on how to better organize the global evidence architecture to support their production." The authors, including Peter Bragge, wrote.

📢 Earlier this week our colleague David de Segovia Vicente and Michaela Lebedíková from the Interdisciplinary Research Team on Internet and Society (IRTIS) gave an intriguing guest lecture titled "What is true for ‘the average person’ may not be true for you: The rise of the person-specific paradigm" 📊👤 🔍 Here’s a quick dive into what they shared: Social sciences can benefit from within-person thinking, especially when they want to understand processes that occur at the individual level. Recently, some research fields, such as the study of Social Media effects, have adopted a more person-specific approach, where the focus is on understanding individual dynamics rather than generalizing to a population. Experience sampling methods (#ESM) are powerful tools to assess micro processes, especially suitable for understanding how people use media. The main issue of ESM is careful planning: researchers who aim to use ESM need to find a balance between participants' burden and a desired timeline of how the processes they aim to study unfold over time. 💡❓Contact David and Michaela for more insights or if you have questions. #SocialMedia #SocialMediaEffects #ExperienceSamplingMethods

🚨 Call for Papers for a Special Issue: 'What do social and environmental responsibilities mean in the ‘Global South’? Towards pluriversal perspectives in management studies' 🌍 We are excited to announce a special issue for the Journal of Management Studies exploring the crucial and often overlooked perspectives on social and environmental responsibilities in the 'Global South'. 📅 Submission Deadline: 31 August 2025 This special issue seeks to address the following: • How non-Western contexts shape and are shaped by practices of social and environmental responsibility. • The interplay between local traditions and global standards in addressing socio-ecological issues. • The roles of businesses, communities, and governments in balancing economic growth with social and environmental imperatives. We welcome conceptual and empirical papers that provide new insights, challenge existing paradigms, and bring to light the diverse ways of understanding and implementing responsibility in different contexts of the 'Global South'. Special Issue Editors: • Pilar Acosta, i3-CRG, École Polytechnique, CNRS Institut Polytechnique de Paris • Bobby Banerjee, Bayes Business School, City University of London • Joel Bothello, Concordia University • Stefanie Habersang, Leuphana University of Lüneburg • Stella M. Nkomo, University of Pretoria • Kristina Potočnik, University of Edinburgh Key Dates and Events: • Information Session: Fall 2024 • Pre-submission Paper Development Workshop: Early 2025 • Post-submission Paper Development Workshop: Winter 2026 For submission guidelines and more details, visit JMS Manuscript Preparation Guidelines: https://bit.ly/3WfAdpL Submit your manuscripts through the JMS ScholarOne system: https://bit.ly/3Y428LV Let's rethink and reshape the conversation around responsibility from a 'Global South' perspective. 🌱📚 #ManagementStudies #GlobalSouth #SocialResponsibility #EnvironmentalResponsibility #CallForPapers #JMS #JMS_Journal #Wiley

Understanding #ResearchMethodologies from different disciplines can be a way of breaking down disciplinary barriers and starting #Interdisciplinary conversations. The Horizons Method Link sessions are designed to challenge researchers from different disciplines to find commonality in their research methods and see whether this commonality might present a way to work together. 👋 These event are free and open to all with an interest in interdisciplinary methods - you do not need to be at University of Leeds to join! For the first of our Methods Link sessions, join Prof Stuart Taberner from the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Culture and Dr Dr Andrea Utley from the Faculty of Biological Sciences as they attempt to find commonality in their methods and approach to research. 📅 Wednesday, 26 June 🕛 12 - 1pm 🌐 Online (Zoom) The session will start with participants joining one of our invited academics for a short overview on the methods they use in their research. In the second part of the session, there will be a discussion between the two academics to see where their methods or approaches may be similar. You will also be invited to share observations and ask questions at the end. For more information, and to book your place, please visit the listing on Eventbrite: https://lnkd.in/eqUMEbh7 This is the first of four events. To find more, including about speakers and the format for the in-person event (session 4), please visit the collection page on Eventbrite: https://lnkd.in/e7uC3iWC Centre for Cultural Value Global Food and Environment Institute, University of Leeds Priestley Centre for Climate Futures X-Net Interdisciplinary Research Network Lauren Wray Samantha Aspinall Poppy Leeder Kate Kellett #ResearcherDevelopment #Research #Methods #ResearchMethods

A reminder that this event is next Wednesday! If you: * Are an interdisciplinary researcher (in any #HigherEducation institution) * Have an interest in how to find commonalities in diverse methodologies * Want to spend an hour learning about the methodologies of others You are very welcome to join us! 🌍 For those in non-UK time zones, the start time is 12 noon (GMT +1) For more details, and how to book, the details are below 👇 #Interdisciplinary #ResearchMethods #Methodologies #Researchers #Academics #Academia #Collaboration #Connection #Event
