Kari-Elisabeth Vambeseth Skogen, Ph.D. candidate at TIK and part of the OSIRIS team, is in the final stages of her Ph.D. work. In her thesis she looks at the use of research in policy. We decided to ask Kari-Elisabeth some questions about her project.
In their newly published blog post, OSIRIS researchers Magnus Gulbrandsen and Silje Tellmann ask: Even if researchers do everything that is expected of them – collaborate with stakeholders, target important societal problems, engage in intensive science communication – societal impact may still not happen. What are the possible explanations?
On February 6th Ph.D. candidate Frauke Rohden successfully defended her thesis "Exploring online conversations around science – data practices of informal online knowing spaces".
On October 12th 2023, the OSIRIS consortium gathered in Oslo for a one-day meeting.
In September OSIRIS Ph.D. candidate Frauke Rohden submitted her thesis. Congratulatins, Frauke!
Last week Silje Maria Tellmann from OSIRIS took part in a panel on ‘The Blind Spots in Impact Research’ at CHER2023 in Vienna together with Stefan DeJong (Erasmus University Rotterdam), Reetta Muhonen (Tampere University) and Rachita Munshi (Erasmus University Rotterdam).

Many countries with abundant natural resources experience lower economic growth than countries with little or no natural resources. In the economics literature this is referred to as the "resource curse". One reason put forward is lack of technological progress. In a recent study, we have examined a related issue, that is, whether a resource curse may occur due to the wrong type of technological progress, write Greaker, Heggedal and Rosendahl.

Frauke Rohden, Ph.D. candidate at TIK and part of the OSIRIS team, is in the final stages of her Ph.D. work. In her thesis she looks at the role of informal science-oriented online activities for the diffusion, understanding, and use of scientific knowledge. We decided to ask Frauke some questions about her project.
How does science make its way from academic research into society? There is agreement that the connection between science and society is not a linear or simple process. This blog post presents six perspectives on the complexity, long timespans and many different actors involved in scientific impact processes.
From June 1-3 2022, the Osiris team attended the yearly Eu-SPRI conference. This year’s theme was “Challenging Science and Innovation Policy” and the aim was to explore future directions for studies of Policies for Research and Innovation with a special emphasis on the topics of Digitization, Open Science and Futuring.
After more than two years of zoom meetings, the Osiris consortium finally met physically again for a two-day meeting in Valencia, Spain. The meeting was hosted by Osiris partner INGENIO and took place at their offices at Ciudad Politécnica de la Innovación.
