Navigating Societal Impact
Principal Investigator: | Dr. Tim Flink, Prof. Dr. Martin Reinhart |
Researcher: | Charlotte Rungius, M.A. |
Societal impact is currently most wanted in contemporary science, technology and innovation (STI) policymaking. Far beyond economic added value, societal impact in STI policymaking aims to tackle cross-boundary and grand-societal challenges, to integrate societal actors from various realms into all processes (including agenda-setting, planning, research, applications and evaluations). Not least, societal impact is supposed to serve as a guideline for valuing STI activities. The project Navigating Societal Impact (funded by Stiftung Mercator) explores variations of societal impact, scrutinizes concrete cases and builds a reflexive learning tool that will enable societal actors to reflect upon and co-create their own societal impact initiatives.
