Individual reflection

Quick reflection

Without any further reading, you can jump directly into a short reflection session by asking yourself:

1. When did you experience a challenging situation as a scientist and started thinking about what it means to be a scientist?
2. If you are a scientist: How would you describe your role as scientist? If collaborating with scientists: How would you describe the roles of scientists in your professional context?
3. What roles of scientists in sustainability transformations can you think of? Which are you most/least familiar with?
4. Focus on the roles you are least familiar with: What do you value about these roles?
5. To what extent could collaboration with scientists performing different roles enrich your scientific work?
6. To what extent could collaboration with scientists performing different roles enhance the societal relevance of your work?
7. To what extent could performing different roles while collaborating with practitioners (in politics, civil society, administration, business, with citizens) enhance the societal relevance of your work?
8. To what extent might roles conflict with one another?
