New master thesis: Evaluation and research policy of inter- and transdisciplinary research in Switzerland and Europe
The INTERSECTIONS team is looking for a motivated master student to write their thesis at the interface of science and technology studies and policy.
The thesis explores how inter- and transdisciplinary research are embedded in science policy, funding scheme and research evaluation in Switzerland. The student will have the opportunity to focus on the situation of interdisciplinary fields like sustainability science or energy research. If there is a desire, the case of Switzerland can be contrasted with that of other European countries. Details on the topics, related research questions, and methodologies can be found here. The student is welcome to bring in their own questions and methods that fit the topic and goals of the thesis. If you are interested, please read the attached document, and get in touch with PD Dr Bianca Vienni-Baptista (bianca.vienni@usys.ethz.ch) and Anne-Sophie Schaltegger (annesophie.schaltegger@usys.ethz.ch).
