Research has an impact when it resonates in society. But how do you actually engage in dialo gue with the people for whom you conduct research?

Th e truly good conversation is becoming increasingly important. In a ti me when research and society are becoming more intertwined, it is not enough to simply communicate knowledge. This requires a different ap proach. How can research not only provide knowledge but also help to better understand and navigate complex issues? And how can insights f rom society, in turn, enrich scientific research?

Netw ork Science in Dialogue, IXA, Amsterdam Public Health, and Open Scien ce Community are offering two training sessions in May for researcher s who want to engage in meaningful dialogue. In these training sessio ns, you will explore how, as a researcher, you can organize a dialogu e that goes beyond merely transmitting knowledge. Please note : attending just one of them is also possible!

How do you design conversations in which different perspectives genuinely in teract with each other? How do you prevent conversations from devolvi ng into debates or polarization, and create space for mutual understa nding and new insights? And what role do you play in this process?

DESCRIPTION: The truly good conversation is becoming increasin gly important. In a time when research and society are becoming more intertwined, it is not enough to simply communicate knowledge. This r equires a different approach. How can research not only provide knowl edge but also help to better understand and navigate complex issues? And how can insights from society, in turn, enrich scientific researc h? Network Science in Dialogue, IXA, Amsterdam Public Health , and Open Science Community are offering two training sessions in Ma y for researchers who want to engage in meaningful dialogue. In these training sessions, you will explore how, as a researcher, you can or ganize a dialogue that goes beyond merely transmitting knowledge. Please note: attending just one of them is also possible! How do you design conversations in which different perspectives ge nuinely interact with each other? How do you prevent conversations fr om devolving into debates or polarization, and create space for mutua l understanding and new insights? And what role do you play in this p rocess?
