Online-Workshop: Inklusive Forschung an Hochschulen

Austausch zu den Ergebnissen des IRR-Projekts im Rahmen der Erasmusdays 2022

Organiser: 3s Research & Consulting

Im Erasmus+ Projekt „Inclusive Responsible Research (IRR)” beschäf­ti­gen wir uns mit einem für die meisten Hochschulen hoch­ak­tu­el­len Thema: wie kann das Engagement für soziale Verantwortung und damit ein­her­ge­hend ver­ant­wor­tungs­vol­le Forschung und Innovation gestaltet werden? Nachdem wir bei den Erasmusdays 2021 unser Projektvorhaben vor­ge­stellt haben, freuen wir uns heuer unsere Forschungsergebnisse sowie die Online-Projektplattform prä­sen­tie­ren zu können. Dazu laden wir Expert*innen aus dem Bereich sowie Forscher*innen aller Disziplinen zu einem Online-Workshop ein.
Die Forschungstradition belohnt nor­ma­ler­wei­se wis­sen­schaft­li­che Erkenntnisse, die innerhalb des eigenen Kreises ver­brei­tet werden. Soziale Wirkungen findet meist wenig Beachtung. Das hat zur Folge, dass die meisten Forscher*innen, deren Arbeit immer mit dieser Art von Indikatoren bewertet wird, keinen Anhaltspunkt zur Einordnung ihrer Arbeit. In der Folge zeigen sie oft auch wenig Interesse an den Wirkungen ihrer Ergebnisse über das aka­de­mi­sche Feld hinaus.
Im IRR-Projekt haben wir zusammen mit Forscher*innen aus Spanien, Rumänien, Slowenien und Serbien auf Basis von Interviews Indikatoren für die Einordung von Forschungspraktiken im Sinne der Inklusion der eigenen Zielgruppen und Stakeholder ent­wickelt. Außerdem entstand eine Online-Plattform, die nicht nur Good-Practices prä­sen­tiert, sondern auch ein Selbsttest-Tool, das die Reflexion über eigene Forschungspraktiken anregen soll.

Sustainability in Vocational Education and Training (VET)

5th G.R.E.A.T. Conference

German Research Center for Comparative Vocational Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.), University of Cologne

The conference will address current issues and findings within the context of sustainability in VET. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), initiated in 2015 in the United Nations’ publication ‘Transforming our World’, declare VET as a central aspect of Goal 4 of the SDGs, which aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” (UN, 2015, 17). Within the context of the conference, a broad understanding of the concept of sustainability will be applied, integrating scientific papers from a wide range of perspectives. Consequently, both conceptual and empirical contributions are welcomed. In addition to ecological topics, social and economic issues can also be the focus of investigation, whether at the macro, meso or micro-level of VET. Contributions may also focus on formal, non-formal, or informal learning, as well as on topics such as green VET, gender, migration, demographic change, AI, or other areas that can be meaningfully linked to sustainability in VET. The call for papers is open until 15 January 2026
