Storeslem for Vitenskaps- og teknologigruppen
Alle fire innvilgede søknader kom fra forskere i senterets STS-gruppe.
Hele tre av de nye tildelingene er til såkalte Unge Forskertalenter - en egen søknadstype for unge og fremadstormende forskere. Den siste tildelingen er i kategorien Forskerprosjekt. Med innvilgelsesprosent på ca 11%, er TIK svært fornøyde og stolte over å ha fått tildelt finansiering for alle (!) søknadene som ble sendt til fristen 10.april 2019.
Prosjektene
Tone Druglitrø - Resisting bodies: The practices and politics of the immune system (ResBod - FRIPRO)
ResBod will develop new perspectives and methods for describing and analysing the complexities of immunological issues related to health and disease across species. It will provide unique empirical studies of the intricate and often difficult tasks of ordering and attuning human and nonhuman bodies in scientific and political practices in attempts to make life safe, healthy and resistant.
Hilde Reinertsen - Evaluation optics of the nation state: The past, present and future of public documentation (EVALUNATION - FRIPRO)

The secondary objective is to spark professional reflection and reorientation within the evaluation community and the wider public.
