Knowledge Transfer

by Elaine Leong and Eva Maria Merz

The event aims to open conversations about knowledge exchange and science communication. It brings together our international and interdisciplinary cohort of HIAS Fellows with local experts in the University of Hamburg and other cultural and heritage institutions. Through a series of informal interactions, we will collectively interrogate aims, processes and tools used to bring academic research to broader audiences. 

The event will consist of two parts. After a short introduction, we will gather in small groups to discuss a suggested set of questions around the philosophies of knowledge exchange, co-created research, and science communication. Then, the event will end with a brief plenary session and time for further informal discussion and exchanges between the HIAS Fellows and the invited experts.

We invite you to come with your own experiences, projects and questions about knowledge exchange and share during the breakout session. Please reach out to us or bring them with you to the meeting. A preliminary programme is pasted below.
