From Theory to Action: What's the Real Duty of Social Science?

The Collaboration Code is a podcast that explores engaged research and collaborative projects between academic and civil actors. The first guest of the series is Yuki Seidler, manager of CEU's Science for Society Hub. The episode deals with the changing role of universities and engaged research as a way to respond to the challenges academia is facing. We talk about how social sciences navigate their way in an increasingly impact-focused environment and how NGOs and universities can help each other to reach real changes in the world. We touch upon the importance and difficulty of opening up the university to larger groups of people, the new ways of knowledge creation, and the future vision for the 21st century's higher education.The podcast was recorded at Central European University. The theme music was composed by Dominik Hollósi for The Collaboration Code.
