  • What makes for a good SNIS project? Insights from members of the SNIS scientific committee
    2024/11/12

    Susan Parnell, SNIS SC President, Jan Klabbers, SC member




    So one of the things which is for me always helpful, is the research question clear? Okay. And that's actually quite difficult to do when you have a group. It's much easier when you're a lone researcher to have a very clear research question. And so having, if you can start off by having a really clear research question, but then your research design demonstrates how the component parts of the project, because in a large project, they are always component parts.


    Okay. And that's how we put these projects together. But do the Lego blocks. make up something that is greater than the individual legible components. And quite often what you'll see is little components that are actually all quite interesting. But the research overarching research question is not clear.


    And the way that the component parts relate back To the core question is not clear and then you certainly see that in the methods because typically what happens is that different elements of the projects have slightly different methods or methodological components. The question of how you bring all these things together at the other end to say, so what?


    Who's that going to, what difference is this going to make? Who's that going to interact with? That doesn't always get defined very well. And then finally, I think that the really crucial thing is it's a bit like casting in a play. Are the people who are involved in the project the right people and do they have the right size role?


    So it's that coherence and clarity that for me marks art a really distinguished application.


    Jan Klabbers, SNIS SC member


    I would think a project is a good project if it ends up telling me something about the world I live in that does not. exclude delving into theories and seeing whether someone was right or wrong. That does not exclude using particular methods to show how well they are adapted to the problem at hand.


    But if it stays at that, then it doesn't tell me much about the world I live in.

  • Special edition Researchers & Activism
    2023/12/12
    Research results must be shared, spread and enacted if they are to make an impact. Especially in the case of hotly debated policy, social economic and political issues, such as climate change and loss of biodiversity. In this podcast we bring testimonies from Profs. Sonia Senevirante, at the ETH, and Julia Steinberger , from UNIL who put their actions where their research is and undertake activities to lend credibility and a voice to their results. They are what one would call researchers activists. Holding the keynote interventions at this year's ScienceComm 23 Conference they brought an uplifting and empowering perspective on how to do both research and activism, what are the inertial points in the systems that need change and where to look for signs things could budge. We are very grateful for their contributions and hope listeners will find them inspiring.

  • Migration to and from EU (II) - motivations and new emerging arrangements
    2023/11/08
    As Italy showcases a new deal with Albania on refugee centres and more and more people choose to undertake the risky journey over to Europe, we wanted to find out more about how such decisions are made, who is involved in taking them, with what expectations and what outcomes. We invited former and current SNIS grantees who have looked into the detailed picture of migration to tell us more about what they found out. Amongst the highlights of this podcast are the fact that candidates to migration have a broad picture view of the risks and dangers related to it, who are not really likely to dissuade them in a first stage. Also, new schemes of "guest worker" approach appear to be emerging, giving rise to absurd situations.
