        Subject: OA book: Collaborative Research for the Datafied Society. Methods & Practices for Investigation & Intervention

Dear list,

we would like to point you to the open access book Collaborative
Research for the Datafied Society. Methods & Practices for 
Investigation & Intervention (eds Mirko Tobias Schäfer, 
Karin van Es, Tracey P. Lauriault), which presents theoretical 
perspectives on societally engaged, co-created, collaborative 
research (Part 1) and presents actual examples of collaborative 
research projects with proven impact and knowledge transfer 
(Part 2):

<https://www.aup.nl/en/book/9789463727679/collaborative-research-in-the-datafied-society>

We argue that collaborative research allows for studying phenomena up
close, to immerse into societal sectors and to position researchers for
effective intervention and knowledge transfer.

Our aim with this contribution is to facilitate connections among
colleagues across different disciplines who are already involved, in
some capacity, in similar research efforts. We hope to inspire others
who are addressing issues relevant to current societal challenges, and
those compelled to interact with stakeholders and audiences beyond the
academic sphere, by providing them with practical guidance on practices
and methods for setting up collaborative research projects, and to lead
scholars in new directions. We will also host a conference on 7 & 8
April 2025 in Utrecht to bring practitioners of collaborative research
together, present best practices, discuss challenges and connect with
extra-academic partners.

Finally, we want to inform university policymakers about the challenges
posed by collaborative research, encouraging them to design policies
that support these endeavors and appropriately recognize and reward the
efforts and accomplishments of university faculty and employees involved
in such work.

The book is open access available:
https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/92631

If you have questions or would like to share your research practices and
experience with us, or participate in the mentioned conference, please
do send an email: m.t.schaefer@uu.nl

Best wishes,
mirko
