You are invited to our new and fresh Thinking Café! A place for discussion of research topics floating in the enormous space in between disciplines. Because our ideas shouldn’t just stay inside our head, they are created through feedback with other research, with each other, with the practical world. In this thinking café, we'll come up with several stands to form groups of people with different opinions, to finally see how our position has changed. After these two hours on the VUB campus, we move with those who want to CLEA or a bar for more drinks, snacks and talks. We’ll provide some food and drinks, but feel free to share your own! But this concept might change through experimentation, and you can form it! You can also propose topics and vote on already proposed ones via : http://bit.ly/InputReaActafé <https://bit.ly/InputReaActafé?fbclid=IwAR2m1-1rNLpXDT7fUwdQ8DCXc8JjpkhejMs4RSzwz1DE_RJFOJqchGOwpqY>
Time: Friday February 28, we open from 15h on, and will start at 15h30 17h30: move to CLEA or bar Place: VUB (campus Etterbeek), room I.1.01 Topic: Free Research? Is our research free, and how can we make or keep it free? In how far is research influenced by funding opportunities, bureaucracy, other social conditions? Which kind of funding is not ok to accept, if any? Is objectivity possible, and should we aim for it? We will discuss these topics by pinpointing the points where opinions diverge, and form small groups with diverse views. Discussion coordinated by Evo Busseniers (CLEA) and Nathalie Degraide ( http://denken.nu/ <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdenken.nu%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR0GPCY14LMNFooXugXS_zv6te8ZtlEAikDhFIYP81_kY8p8PzQkamZOel4&h=AT1ivQCCtPNAi6Xgyy1Aa36w64W0JCUSpZW4Q71zzFcIDhok4J8h9CHOF3hRZnSwboehlfCST58RzKM7MQXf459navyzOo5CKoeUbO1Aj5AuqDYeRJjbrmvcRyXZBB7-2Q2NgSiZOhIMvCAoog> ) -- Evo ECCO Group (VUB) <http://ecco.vub.ac.be/?q=node/1> Email: [email protected] Website: https://cadelllast.com
