Program

Urban engaged research to the rescue?

​

In our rapidly changing world, science provides perspective and guidance. The rigorous process of truth-seeking and refutation offers the best answer toward reliable insights and responsible choices.

Yet as researchers and human beings, we do not stay unmoved by today's social and ecological issues. Ideally, we would like to make a positive contribution with our research. But can and should we?

In this edition of DS²BE, we explore the role of "urban engaged research" through your own work. Keynotes testify about their interpretation of that role, we make a site visit around action research, and organise a workshop to define your own role.

​

Details to follow soon.
