LeNa Value
Expanding research to include approaches for societal challenges
Module LeNa Value
In the LeNa-Value module, research teams from non-university research and universities from the fields of sustainability research, ethics, societal responsibility of science and research and impact research work closely together. The focus of the analyses is on the concept of quality in research and its effects. The results of LenaValue will lead to the description of "narratives for excellent research", which can be used to show why a stronger focus on the societal responsibility of science can be expected to increase the quality of research results. The narratives take up the ethical foundations and the significance of societal responsibility and not only address the target relationships of research, but also develop proposals for new criteria, measurement and evaluation procedures as well as implementation approaches for research in societal responsibility.
Position paper "Excellent research with societal responsibility"
The core message of this paper is that the implementation of excellent research with societal responsibility requires further developments at six successive levels of the science system in terms of conditions for success that address principles, goals, demands and solutions.
