Dear colleagues,
Scholars across Tampere University are doing versatile research on democracy and citizen participation as well as on patient and public involvement. The field is related to two of our university’s strategic research areas: The future of well-being and Sustainable cities, and it is also linked to two profile areas of TAU: Sustainable Welfare Systems (SWS) and Sustainable Transformation of Urban Environment (STUE).
The network could help e.g. in getting to know each other, identifying common research topics, creating new research co-operation, improving stakeholder co-operation and societal impact, further developing multidisciplinary democracy research, and strengthening democracy research at TAU.
If you’re interested in creating new collaboration in this field, please fill in the form by Thursday the 10th of June, so we can start planning the first steps of the network. (The network will be open to all TAU researchers also in the future, so you can join the network and its activities also anytime after this timeline.)The network will be run by its members based on their hopes, interests and voluntariness. SWS and STUE have kindly offered to provide support for the network in e.g. organizing events.
