Academic activism: societal engagement - social innovation
Academic activism: societal engagement - social innovation
Whereas academic and research staff at universities are mostly seen as producers of scientific knowledge, their roles as active citizens in multilingual, multicultural societies and as agents of social change have been overlooked in scholar research. Especially at present times where emerging societal issues affect all sectors of the 'quadruple helix', we need new ways (including new research methodologies) to tackle understandings of new roles and actions of social actors. Academic activism, as social engagement of R&I staff in a climate emergency context, will be central in this approach.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101035808.
