Transformative Research Brief

Summary
Five sessions with at least five different SI networks will be held to examine the role and relevancy of research in the respective network context. These sessions will serve as places for network participants and researchers to meet and a) discuss the potential of approaches and instruments of (transformative) research for networks in meeting societal challenges; b) discuss expectations and concrete suggestions for how research and practice can interact to increase societal impact and lead to better SI practice and relevant research; c) potentially assist with specific network needs such as identifying and sharing relevant research, developing a research agenda or linking with relevant researchers. Results of these sessions will be shared with policymakers, researchers and practitioners in a Transformative Research Brief.
