Knowledge exchange in research
The Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences sees knowledge exchange a research-based dialogue with people active in the political, business, and administration sectors, in art and culture, and in civil society. Research results are developed cooperatively or co-creatively with non-university actors, and applied to non-scientific contexts. Existing research is empirically enriched through exchange with civil society, stimulating the development of new research topics.
This form of knowledge exchange is undertaken by the researchers in the faculty within the framework of (externally funded) research projects, applied research, contract research, in real-world laboratories, or as consultants and experts.
The faculty’s knowledge exchange strategy (link) offers a structured overview of the diverse knowledge transfer activities carried out by researchers in the faculty, with a particular emphasis on the dimension of research. We offer you an overview of the central knowledge exchange actors in the faculty, as well as a sample of research projects explicitly related to knowledge exchange.
Guiding lights of knowledge exchange in the faculty
With the Research Office for Social Innovation and the Hamburg Center for Health Economics (HCHE) and Center for Sustainable Society Research (CSS)research centers, the faculty is proud of its regional, national, and international guiding lights in area of knowledge exchange. You can learn more about these guiding lights at the following links.
Examples of externally funded research projects related to knowledge exchange
With their individual and externally funded research projects, researchers in the faculty make great contributions to societal debates and practical applications. On this page we will highlight a few exemplary projects. You can find more information about the projects on the professors’ websites.
