ABSTRACT

In the search for solutions to global challenges, the way scientific research is carried out is rapidly changing. Interdisciplinary approaches through collaborative research projects are replacing traditional approaches. As complex operational details, including stakeholder perspectives, are oft overlooked in these projects, conflict and failure are more likely. Analysing the conflict experience of stakeholders and project members in a transdisciplinary research project, this paper examines the science-society nexus. Using an international, transdisciplinary project, conflict drivers and levels of conflict are identified. Continuous communication and monitoring throughout a project’s lifetime with internal conflict prevention and management measures are proposed to facilitate collaborations.

摘要

在寻找解决全球挑战的方法时，科学研究的方式正在迅速改变。通过合作研究项目的跨学科方法正在取代传统方法。在这些项目中，由于经常会忽略包括利益相关者观点在内的复杂操作细节，因此冲突和失败的可能性更大。通过分析跨学科研究项目中利益相关者和项目成员的冲突经历，本文研究了科学与社会的联系。通过一个跨学科的国际项目，可以确定冲突的驱动因素和冲突程度。建议在项目生命周期内进行持续的沟通和监控，并采用内部冲突预防和管理措施来促进协作。
