Postponed: Transformative Research – The New Imperative in Science?

To react to the current pandemic situation, we decided to postpone the KFPE & SUDAC Annual Conference to Spring 2021. A physical meeting in Bern is not possible under the current circumstances, and a virtual conference would not allow to elaborate the topic of transformative research in its depth and opportunities for networking would be limited.

We are currently looking for a new date in Spring 2021. As soon as we have the new date, registered participants will be informed and asked to confirm their registration.

We apologise for any inconveniences. Please contact the KFPE if you have any questions.

We hope to welcome you to the conference in Spring 2021.

Research shall contribute to transformations towards sustainable development. How does such research look like and what is needed to promote this kind of research? Will transformative research become the new normal or is it just a short-lived new fashion? This conference brings together actors from academia, civil society, private sector, administration and politics to discuss the role of research for transformation.

With presentations of examples of innovative transformative research partnerships and expectations from policy workers and practitioners we learn more about the potential but also challenges of transformative research. Together, we discuss how to implement, improve and promote transformative research.
