DeSIRA-Malmon seminar

You are here

On June 19-20, 2023, the DeSIRA-Malmon (Guinea-Bissau) project (www.malmon-desira.com) will conduct a seminar at WUR about: (session 1) farmers and fisherfolks in Guinea-Bissau coping with social and climate change; and (session 2) creating research impact through knowledge co-production and policy making. In session 1, 11 of the PhD students of Malmon will present their empirical research in Guinea-Bissau. One of the session’s goals is for the PhD students to receive constructive feedback and create a dialogue with senior researchers. In session 2, the themes are co-producing knowledge and influencing policy which are some of Malmon’s theoretical foundations. This session will include two pitches from Malmon on the methods of knowledge co-production and an interactive session by representatives of DeSIRA-LIFT (https://www.desiralift.org/) where they will link PhD research to policy processes for development. Each part will be followed by a discussion.

We would like to invite you to participate in both sessions of the seminar on June 19-20. You will be acquainted with current empirical research in Guinea-Bissau and we expect to have discussions and reflections on the main challenges and issues of doing ‘science with society’. Moreover, this seminar will provide an opportunity to network with Malmon researchers and other researchers under the DeSIRA programme for future collaboration.
