Trainings

The Summer School strengthens master’s and PhD students’ competences in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, focusing on co-creating transformative knowledge with diverse actors. Through hands-on tools, and collaborative experiments, participants explore challenges in designing and conducting research that meaningfully responds to societal needs.

Appliaction Deadline: 30 April 2026

For some time now, scholars in the humanities and social sciences have been rethinking capital and work beyond purely economic terms. Ideas such as Pierre Bourdieu’s mapping of social, cultural, and symbolic capital, James Coleman’s concept of “social capi- tal,” and John Guillory’s use of cultural capital in debates about canon formation have shown that “capital” operates across many dimensions of life and multiple disciplines. More recently, concepts such as “genetic capital,” “biovalue,” and “biocapital” have foregrounded the growing intertwining of biotechnology and capitalism.

You know the research on what makes science teams effective, but how do you actually put it into practice? When deadlines are tight and teams are pulled in different directions, translating evidence into action can feel easier said than done. In this workshop, we’ll move from theory to application, sharing practical approaches to operationalize team science principles, from norms and decision-making to alignment, conflict navigation, and creating psychological safety. Join us to bridge the gap between what we know and what we do, and turn evidence into coordinated team success.

Date: 17 - 18 September 2026

Researchers interested in exploring diverse forms of science–society relations are invited to participate in an interactive online workshop on 29 September 2026, from 14:00 to 15:00 CEST. Held in the context of the Anthro:Relateproject and organized by ETH Zurich, the University of Oulu, and the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters, the workshop will present a novel typology of science–society relations developed through the project and provide opportunities for participants to exchange experiences from different research contexts. Together, participants will reflect on factors that enable transformative science–society collaborations.

Implementation Science (ImpSci) verbessert und beschleunigt die Integration und Verbreitung von Forschungsergebnissen und evidenzbasierten Praktiken in die Gesundheitsversorgung. Sie konzentriert sich auch auf die De-Implementierung von geringwertiger Versorgung.

Die Masterclass in Implementation Science findet dieses Jahr am Freitag, 02.10.2026  und Freitag, 23.10.2026 (Track 1, online) und am Freitag, 13.11.2026 und Samstag, 14.11.2026 vor Ort in Zürich (Track 2) statt.

Die Masterclass richtet sich an Gesundheitsfachleute, Forschende, Kliniker:innen und politische Entscheidungsträger:innen mit Interesse an Implementation Science.

Anmeldefrist: 22. September 2026
