Seminarium om samverkan som akademisk merit

Det första seminariet kommer att fokusera på samverkan som akademisk merit. Seminariet hålls på engelska, se beskrivning nedan:

External engagement, collaboration and outreach – what merit value does such expertise have and how can it be evaluated?

As teachers and researchers, we face increased external and internal expectations for our external engagement, including an expectation to contribute to societal impact through our research. 

The academic incentive structure for career advancement has however traditionally focused on pedagogic and scientific merits rather than experience and expertise related to external engagement, collaboration and outreach. 

It is therefore less clear how such merits can be defined, described and evaluated when for example recruiting for academic positions or promoting someone.  

In this seminar we will in response initiate a discussion on questions such as: What does external engagement expertise entail? What are the different components that may be involved? How are academic merits related to external engagement evaluated today? 

Speakers:

• Magnus Adenskog, Cooperation manager at Campus Helsingborg, and co-writer of the report MerSam – Meritvärde av samverkansskicklighet (PDF på hb.se, öppnas i ny flik) 
• Christofer Edling, Dean and Chair of the Academic Appointments Board.  

Time: 29 March, 8:30-9:00 Coffe and sandwiches, 9:00-10:00 seminar. 
Place: You can attend the seminar in R115, Gamla kirurgen or via Zoom. 
Organizer: The External Engagement Board at the Faculty of Social Science
