Implications of digital transformation for migrant labour

Accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, rapid digitalisation has fundamentally transformed European working conditions. While its positive consequences are well recognised, digital transformation also puts a sorely needed part of the European workforce at risk of unemployment, poverty and social exclusion. IDILAB (Implications of digital transformation for migrant labour) investigates the impacts that technological progress and subsequent structural changes have on the labour market integration of migrant workers. By developing a new methodological approach, IDILAB shall provide novel evidence on migrants’ exposure to the process of digitalisation, and formulate evidence-based and innovative policy options for the EU and national governments to improve on the scope and adequacy of national and European policy directed at encouraging a fair digital transition for all, including migrants. The proposed project will contribute with new knowledge on migrants’ own perspectives on barriers and enablers for a sustainable integration in a fast-changing labour market. I, the experienced researcher (Dr Olga Gheorghiev, the Czech Republic), will work with a European centre of excellence (the Research Centre for Digitalisation of Public Services and Citizenship (CEDIC, OsloMet, Norway), and the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI, Belgium) for intersectoral knowledge transfer, career development, and European added value.

CULTUral heritage in RurAL remote areas for creative tourism and sustainabilITY

The main objective of the project is to contribute to the promotion of cultural and creative tourism activities, considering the different capacities, resources, and specificities (material, creative, human...) of the territories, as a mean to help with the sustainable development of peripheral rural areas, favoring job creation and population settlement. For this, the potential of its cultural heritage will be researched, taking into account both the artisan material culture (techniques, materials, patterns and decorative elements), as well as the intangible culture (music, oral knowledge and culinary traditions) as a resource.
 
To promote non-seasonal tourism as a form of sustainable development with a stable population settlement we are going to research the crafts linked to the territory and their implications, but we will also carry out a documentation of the productive processes. First and foremost, we are going to cater to the necessities of the local communities and pay attention to aspects related to societal groups at risk of exclusion, such as women, the elderly and the youth.

All this will be developed from a multidisciplinary perspective, for which we will count on the various teams —most of them linked to different countries— that will be part of the consortium. Each of these partners will contribute to the development, as well as to the final result of the project through input directly related to their area of ??expertise: for example, among the collaborators we have intellectual teams specialized in the digitalization of heritage, research, or communication and dissemination, as well as as various institutions that will act as a testing ground for the more practical parts of the proposal. However, if something will characterize our work, it will be the constant collaboration between all parties, as well as the exchange of advice and experiences that will help to enrich collective knowledge and guarantee optimal results.

POWERING ARTISTIC AND CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP TO DRIVE THE CLIMATE TRANSITION

PACESETTERS responds to the abstract challenge of the climate transitions by shifting from a model of entrepreneurship based on individual, short-term incentives to one that is driven by co-agency and new capacities to act together in sustainable ways. It does so by examining the concrete circumstances, investigating possible support mechanisms and stress-testing instruments that enable art and culture, creativity and heritage to drive the climate transition.
Therefore, PACESETTERS will set out to:
-Create knowledge from collaborative research to keep pace with the transition
-Propose and test creative business models to set the pace of the transition
-Assess strategies of valorisation to push the pace of the transition
 
This approach will identify and analyse advanced practices that run transversally across the cultural and creative sectors; contextualise the outcomes of co-research in real-world laboratories for social imagination; further develop and promote the preliminary results of experiments in iterative support and evaluation frames. The PACESETTERS approach centres on inclusion, participation and iteration in order ensure that gender equity and diversity inform it at every step and on every level.

The result will be a critical evaluation and all-encompassing demonstration of the actual potentials of the CCIs to drive the climate transition while systematically analysing their impact on micro-, meso- and macro-level:
-Understanding the climate transition as a triple transition: green, digital and inclusive

Strengthening resilience and mental wellbeing through the Support4Resilience toolbox for leaders in elderly care

European elderly care experiences labor shortages, lack of qualified workers and a mismatch between capacity and demands, causing stress, burnout, and reduced mental wellbeing among healthcare workers and informal caregivers. Leaders are crucial in promoting supportive working conditions but lack research-based measures to act upon these challenges.

Support4Resilience (S4R) will develop, implement, and evaluate a research-based Toolbox to support healthcare leaders in improving healthcare workers’ and informal caregivers’ resilience and mental wellbeing in elderly care. S4R will identify resilience and mental wellbeing factors among healthcare workers and informal caregivers; explore their perspectives and needs; develop new theory on the relationship between individual and organizational resilience, and mental wellbeing; and develop recommendations and cost-effective interventions. The Toolbox with tailormade resources for policy and practical use will be available through an open access S4R Resource Bank.

The S4R Toolbox includes three main tools: 1) Mapping and identification, 2) Reflection and education, and 3) Reorganization. Measures are initiated at the organizational level and effects on mental wellbeing and resilience transpire at the frontline of elderly care. The Toolbox covers different situational contexts, types of healthcare providers and health system levels. Elderly care settings in six European countries will implement and evaluate the Toolbox through a process evaluation, effectiveness evaluation, and cost-effectiveness evaluation. 

S4R provides policymakers, decisions-makers and leaders with solutions for taking action to solve specific risks for healthcare workers’ and informal caregivers’ resilience and mental wellbeing. Thus, pertinent to the work programme, S4R will support the development of resilient health systems in European elderly care through improved leadership capabilities, governance structures, and adaptive capacities.

Providing research infrastructure services to support Next Generation EU

This four-year project will harness outputs from key social science RIs in Europe and other reliable sources to support the aims of the ‘Next Generation EU’ programme and to inform EU youth policy. Virtual access will be provided to the outputs through special installations (portals) developed during the project. The core of the proposal is a set of existing research ‘services’, which will be re-purposed and customised to focus directly on the five themes: Make it Green; Make it Digital; Make it Healthy; Make it Strong; and Make it Equal. 

For each area, the consortium will work collaboratively to produce seven sets of resources:

i)	A searchable inventory of relevant variables drawn from multiple cross-national datasets; 

ii)	Analytical summaries, suitable for policy makers and analysts new to the field, as well as interactive resources available through the project portal;

iii)	Harmonised and merged extracts from these datasets that reduce the burden on analysts and increase sample sizes;

iv)	New data collected through the ESS’s established CRONOS web panel infrastructure. Eleven countries will field five waves of the panel, each one dedicated to a NextGenEU theme. Free and rapid access to the data will be available through the CRONOS portal alongside analytical summaries;

v)	In-person and virtual deliberative forums with young people (aged 18-34) in four countries covering the five Next Generation EU’ themes;

vi)	An educational tool (E-NextGen) channelling our data for use in classrooms and by the general public;

vii)	Comprehensive training materials related to all project outputs.


Mapping of Longitudinal data of Inequalities in Education

The MapIE project aims to identify mechanisms causing educational inequalities and policies or interventions compensating for them. We do a systematic review of how these have been studied internationally using longitudinal designs. We map existing longitudinal data that we describe in a public metadata database, and we analyse them to describe the mechanisms of inequalities and to identify effective policies and interventions in different local contexts. We focus on the contextual differences between the Nordic and Central European countries that have structurally different education systems. Within national contexts and using comparative research designs, we look at system-, regional- and school-level policies and practices and individual-level factors (e.g. socioeconomic status, immigrant background, gender, special educational needs) that are associated with the development of educational inequalities and the successful prevention of achievement gaps. We publish and disseminate the empirical results of the project through multiple channels to scientific audiences, policy makers and the wider public. At the end, we create a public framework for studying educational inequalities longitudinally in future studies, acknowledging the role of local contexts but aiming for comparability at the European level. 

We implement the project in seven work packages. Our consortium consists of internationally acknowledged experts in large-scale educational assessment research from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Hungary and Luxembourg/Germany. The partners have a long-standing history of collaboration with each other, European researchers, and national and international education policy makers, and they bring extensive longitudinal datasets to the project. The project will considerably strengthen the knowledge base of what shapes educational outcomes over time, how to best support the learning of all students and how to reduce education inequalities in the short, medium and long term.

Contextualized pathways to reduce housing inequalities in the green and digital transition.

The project Reducing housing inequalities in the green and digital transition (ReHousIn) is committed to better understand the impacts of recent crises on housing inequalities across different European regions, especially with regard to the implementation of the green transition launched by the EU. The overall aim is to explore the mechanisms affecting the (re)production of housing inequalities under recent crisis conditions, and the impacts of the EU induced green transition in different national contexts and along different degrees of urbanisation. Based on a contextualized and comparative understanding of the mechanisms (re)producing housing inequalities, ReHousIn inquiries into multi-level pathways and inclusive local housing initiatives to spark innovative EU, national and local policy solutions towards inclusionary and quality housing, mitigating the possible negative impacts of the EU induced green transition. It conducts a comparative, multi-level analysis in 9 European countries – Austria, France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom – focusing on attractive metropolitan regions, middle-sized cities and rural areas by means of a mixed-method project design. A quantitative data analysis on recent trends in housing inequalities and their relation to crises across different levels of urbanization will provide the framework for 27 local cases studies in which the impact of multi-level trajectories of housing-system, welfare regimes and environmental policy instrumentations on the (re)production of local housing inequalities and the emergence of inclusive housing initiatives are analyzed. Based on this, ReHousIn compares mechanisms of differentiation feeding into policy labs, aiming to formulate recommendations on how to tackle negative social externalities related the EU green transition at EU, national and local levels.

Strategies for achieving equity and inclusion in education, training and learning in democratic Europe

STRIDE will provide a new, comprehensive and comparative knowledge-base on effective education reforms, policy initiatives and interventions aimed at reducing inequalities in education, training and learning outcomes in Europe. STRIDE will do this through analyses of education reforms in national and regional systems, existing large-scale educational assessment data and existing longitudinal data on the causal link between educational and other social policies and inequalities in educational achievements. In examining the learning progress of students over time, STRIDE will closely examine to the range of intersectional variables such as socio-economic background, gender, (dis)abilities, migration status, home language, early childhood education and care (ECEC) attendance, which may affect learning outcomes in different ways in different contexts. The project will combine diverse methods, data and disciplines (comparative education, political science, education science, sociology) in innovative ways: mapping at national and regional levels on (1) education reforms in the past 25 years by policy analysis, (2) longitudinal trends of inequalities in educational achievement by quasi-experiment analysis of existing large-scale educational assessment data, and (3) effect of education reforms and interventions by analysis existing longitudinal data and registry data following student cohorts over time combined with a qualitative inquiry into policymakers' perspective. Through the involvement of national and European stakeholders, STRIDE will develop methodology and assessment tools for policy learning offering policymakers a toolbox of enhanced knowledge of what shapes educational outcomes over time and demonstrating the usefulness of longitudinal data in policy-making to reduce educational inequalities in the short, medium and long term.

dialoguing@rts – Advancing Cultural Literacy for Social Inclusion through Dialogical Arts Education

d@rts is a catalyst for increasing social cohesion and inclusion, using embodied performing arts activities to develop cognitive and affective cultural literacy. We recognise that the performing arts encompass mass-market consumer goods, as well as non-linguistic, embodied and social activities, providing massive opportunities for inclusive participation.
Our target groups comprise actors of all ages and social positions, especially in the school system and in community arts initiatives. We will empower these groups to be artistically active, dialogically related and culturally literate, giving them tools and motivation to improve their own situations and those of others within the overall frame of a cohesive European society, informed by global perspectives.
Using the post-colonial insight that culture is necessarily heterogeneous, d@rts has four related objectives:
1. Understand how performing arts activities relate to cultural literacy in official discourse and documents across partner countries
2. Use this understanding to build dialogues and co-create physical and digital actions with heterogeneous groups within our target audience
3. Develop assessment tools for these actions, enabling measurable growth in cultural literacy
4. Use our findings in recommendations for cultural and educational policies that build long-term social cohesion and inclusion
Based on these objectives, the overall outputs comprise:
1. Documentary, survey and participatory research findings
2. Performative DIALOGART actions for cultural literacy
3. Policy and practice recommendations to increase social cohesion via cultural literacy actions inspired by the performing arts
d@rts imagines new futures and creates hope and social cohesion through performing arts education. By creating participatory spaces and facilitating dialogues, we empower voices seldom heard. d@rts thus advances cultural literacy, and enhances social cohesion and resilience, to build an inclusive future for Europe.

REGULAR AND UNPLANNED CARE ADAPTIVE DASHBOARD FOR CROSS–BORDER EMERGENCIES

During cross-border health emergencies, health and care services may be overwhelmed by high numbers of patients requiring unplanned care. Delays and backlogs in regular care, as a result of the stretched health care system, leave millions of patients with regular care needs unattended, resulting in disastrous healthcare outcomes. If poor healthcare outcomes across the population are to be avoided, healthcare systems must become more resilient and flexible and allow for rapid changes in the care delivery services. RAPIDE’s aim is to develop, validate and demonstrate a portfolio of powerful tools that enable healthcare systems to build in robustness of decisions, resilience of the health care professionals and patients and flexibility in the modalities of care delivery, thereby maintaining access to regular care during health emergencies. 

RAPIDE emphasises opportunities for optimising in-hospital care, but also for relocating care from hospitals to community and home environments without loss of care quality. Thus, the project focuses on two closely-linked challenges – 1: Identifying and predicting how much care, and which care, needs to be moved along the care chain; 2: Identifying and verifying effective, feasible and acceptable ways to make this reconfiguration of care a reality. This will be achieved by (a) resource modelling, which builds comprehensive foresight and forecasting solutions and links them to patient flows optimization, along the whole chain of care, (b) selecting and implementing the best available tools to deliver regular care in new ways. To ensure usability, acceptability and equitable real-world value, RAPIDE will be co-designed and co-validated with stakeholders, from patients, GPs, clinicians and hospital managers to health ministries, pandemic-management and public health agencies. A Table Top Exercise and extensive communication and dissemination will raise awareness of the project’s successes.

Det NRF-finansierte forskningsprosjektet «I en verden i total krig: Norge 1939–1945» har representert et ambisiøst forsøk på å nytolke Norge under andre verdenskrig og å bevege forskningen inn i uutforskede områder. Forskningen har vært preget av komparative og transnasjonale perspektiver og bruken av nye metodiske tilnærminger. En av ambisjonene har vært å frigjøre forskningen fra de nasjonale rammene som har begrenset den, og å studere ny tematikk basert på tidligere ubenyttet arkivmateriale, blant annet fra Russland og Tyskland. Prosjektet har vært lokalisert til UiT Norges arktiske universitet. NTNU, IFS og Narviksenteret har vært de sentrale samarbeidspartnerne. I tillegg har prosjektet samarbeidet aktivt med institusjoner og forskere i de nordiske landene, Russland, Storbritannia og Tyskland. Prosjektet ble avsluttet 31. juli 2022, men noen av resultatene vil bli publisert i tiden framover.

Det nordlige Europa har vært utsiktspunkt for prosjektet, uten at det har avgrenset seg geografisk til denne regionen. Valget er begrunnet med at flere sentrale stormakter og småstater hadde sterke politiske, økonomiske og strategiske interesser knyttet til nord og at regionen økte i betydning utover krigen. Fra 1942 dominerte spørsmål knyttet til Nordkalotten den norske eksilregjeringens politiske agenda. En annen grunn er at den tyske okkupasjonen i nord førte til en overveldende asymmetri mellom tyskere og den lokale, multi-etniske befolkningen. Det generelle tyske behovet for forsyninger førte til en sterk vekst i den nordnorske økonomien. De enorme tyske rustningstiltakene i nord virket i samme retning. Krigshandlingene som fant sted under Narvik-felttoget 1940, på Litsa-fronten fra 1941 og under den sovjetiske Petsamo-Kirkenes-operasjonene fra høsten 1944 var de mest omfattende og intense i Norge og grenseområdene.

Flere vitenskapelige og andre arbeider er publisert til, mens andre er i publiseringsfasen. Prosjektet vil utgi en omfattende antologi, samt en synteseframstilling av Norge under andre verdenskrig for et bredt publikum basert på prosjektets og annen nyere forskning.

Blant de sentrale bidragene fra prosjektets forskere er de studiene som er gjort av forholdet mellom okkuperte og okkupant basert på tysk militært rettsmateriale og studiene av militære planer og operasjoner basert på russiske arkiver.

Narvik-senteret er ansvarlig for formidlingen av prosjektets resultater gjennom utstillinger og annen publikumsrettet virksomhet. Senteret har utviklet og satte i drift nettsiden www.totalkrig.no høsten 2019. Den vil bli videreutviklet og vedlikeholdt ved senteret etter at prosjektperioden har utløpt.

Prosjektet har sikret eksternfinansiering av tre delprosjekter. Det første var monografien «Heltekongen Haakon. Symbol i krig og fred» (Cappelen Damm, 2021). Det andre har vært samarbeidet med HL-senteret om den åpne foredragsserien på Litteraturhuset i Oslo «Andre verdenskrig – gjensyn og dypdykk» på Litteraturhuset i Oslo. Serien vil fortsette etter at prosjektperioden har utløpt. Det tredje er en utstilling som skal presentere sentrale resultater av forskningen. Utstillingen er et samarbeid med NFR-prosjektet, Narviksenteret og Norges hjemmefrontmuseum.

Prosjektets første internasjonale konferanse ble avholdt i Trondheim 26.-28. juni 2018. Avslutningskonferansen ble avholdt i Narvik og Tromsø i juni 2022.

The project plan has been developed by a consortium made up by four institutions: the Department of History and Religious Studies (IHR) at UiT The Norwegian Arctic University (Tromsø), the Department for Historical Studies (IHS) at NTNU, Trondheim, the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies (IFS), Oslo, and the Narvik Centre.

The project will be located at UiT. The Principal Investigator (PI) at UiT will be Professor Tom Kristiansen, who is among the foremost experts on the history of Norway and the Second World War.

An important long-term ambition is to establish a highly competent research centre at the UiT, in partnership with accomplished bodies such as NTNU, IFS and the Narvik Centre, in accordance with the Research Council?s policy on Research Institution-Based Strategic Projects.

Based on a sound review of the status of knowledge, the research group has identified a number of topics that warrant further scrutiny. Research and other scholarly activities are organized under four thematic Work Packages (WPs). The division into WPs, individual projects and methodological approaches are guided by three main concerns:

Firstly, the project has an ambition to free its research from constraining national perspectives, both by situating Norwegian experiences within a broader international context and by attempting to adopt comparative and transnational perspectives.

Secondly, North Norway and the European far north constitute the geographical vantage point of the project. This is innovative and potentially rewarding for several reasons. At the level of "high politics", the region was of particular strategic significance to the great powers.

Thirdly, the project will seek to integrate recent methodological approaches and concepts, including gender, everyday experiences and memory. The far north as vantage point offers a unique opportunity to adopt these approaches and concepts in uncharted waters.

In a World of Total War: Norway 1939-1945

Notions of intentionality - of linguistic meaning, mental content,
aboutness generally - lie at the heart of our conception of ourselves
or others as perceiving, thinking and acting beings. A central
question in much recent philosophy has been whether int entionality,
fundamentally, is a matter of representing an independent reality
('representationalism'), or rather one of enabling adaptive forms of
action and interaction ('anti-representationalism'). In crude
metaphors: are thoughts mirrors of reality or  tools for coping?
With regard to linguistic meaning and thought content, the guiding
question has been what role such semantic notions as reference and
truth should have in accounting for these phenomena, with
representationalists assigning them a substa ntive explanatory role,
and anti-representationalists aiming to deflate their import,
prioritizing instead notions of warranted move, expression or use. We
will examine the reasons for and commitments of rejecting the
representationalist view.
We will als o consider the idea that meaning and thought has an
inherently normative dimension, traditionally central to
anti-representationalists, looking in particular at how this idea can
be squared with a broadly anti-realist view of normativity, as has
been favo ured by many anti-representationalists.
Intentional notions have gained prominence in accounts of perceptual
experience, and are heavily invoked in cognitive science. While
representationalist conceptions of intentionality have been dominant
in these doma ins, anti-representationalist perspectives, often
inspired by the pragmatist and phenomenological traditions, are
increasingly influential. We will investigate the prospects for some
notable alternatives of this sort.
Finally, but not least, we shall expl ore what interrelations there may
be between different forms of (anti-)representationalism, e.g. between
anti-representationalism about thought content and, say, enactivist
views of perception.

Representationalism or Anti-representationalism? 
Perspectives on intentionality from philosophy and cognitive science

Prosjektet, som var et 3-års er et samarbeidsprosjekt mellom Institutt for filosofi, idéhistorie, kunsthistorie og klassiske språk ved Universitetet i Oslo, Filosofisk institutt ved Universitetet i Tromsø og i sluttfasen Filosofisk institutt ved Universitetet i Bergen, gikk ut på forskerutdanning innen filosofihistorie og idéhistorie--et område hvor det manglet relevante tilbud for doktorander i Norge, særlig på universitetene utenfor Oslo. Det var også et av prosjektets mål å øke samarbeid mellom Universitetene, som skal bli enklere å få til i fremtiden. Aktiviteten i prosjektet består av workshops/konferanser med innlegg fra doktorander og deltakelse og innlegg også fra fast vitenskapelig ansatte, og Ph.D.seminarer. Flere slike workshops/konferanser og kurs er blitt avholdt i perioden 2013-2015, den siste ved Universitet i Bergen i oktober 2015. Prosjektet ble tildelt en professor II stilling. Den hadde Prof. Christia Mercer ved Columbia University. Mercers expertise er Renessanse- og tidlig moderne filosofi og idéhistorie.

This application is for financial support for Ph.D. courses and workshops involving Ph.D. students as well as established scholars in European history of philosophy and ideas from the ancient Greek roots till 1800. The applicants are the disciplines of ph ilosophy and the history of ideas at IFIKK, University of Oslo, (primary applicant) and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Tromsø (secondary, partner applicant). The application is a response to critical as well as appreciative remarks in t he report Philosophy and history of ideas in Norway: Evaluation of research 2004?2008 (Norges forskningsråd, 2010) and addresses problems raised in this report (hereafter referred to simply as ?Evaluation Report? or ?the report?).

It should be made clear  from the outset that the application does not have a unifying theme in addition to the history of philosophy and ideas in the aforementioned period. Thus, we are open to ethical, metaphysical, aesthetic, and theological topics, just to name a few relevan t ones, as well as the various intersections of these and other themes. As will be explained below the project of the application nevertheless has more than enough cohesion to naturally fall under one heading.

History of Philosophy 600 BC-1800 AD: Research Training

Målet med dette prosjektet er å utvikle to doktorgradskurs for doktorander i filosofi.

Two courses will be developed, one to fulfill the philosophy of science requirement, and one focused on methodological issues in Philosophy and History of Ideas, in particular as they interrelate. One option is to concentrate and compare the approaches of  the Historian of Ideas Quentin Skinner with that of the political philosopher Philip Pettit. 

A female professor II will be recruited from outside of Norway to serve as adviser for the project.

Development and organization of two research training courses for PhD students in Philosophy and History of Ideas

ISP-FIDE - Applied Ethics: Technology and Governance of Health and Natural Resources» har vært finansiert av Norges forskningsråd i perioden 1. april 2012  - 31. mail 2015. Det primære målet har vært å styrke anvendt etikk i norsk filosofi gjennom aktivt samarbeid mellom flere av de norske filosofiske fagmiljøene. Et sekundært mål har vært å forbedre kvaliteten på publikasjoner gjennom medforfatterskap og utstrakt bruk av uformelle fagfellevurderinger fra kolleger ved andre institusjoner. Dette er et erklært mål som er uttrykt i evalueringsrapporten «Filosofi og idehistorie i Norge. Evaluering av forskningen 2004-2008». Program for anvendt etikk ved NTNU har ledet prosjektet med Universitetet i Bergen, Universitetet i Nordland og Universitetet i Tromsø som aktive samarbeidsinstitusjoner. To områder har vært spesielt viktige i dette prosjektet: miljøetikk med fokus på naturressurser, og bio-etikk/helsearbeid-etikk. Teknologiens innvirkning på styring av disse områdene reiser mange etiske utfordringer, blant annet hvordan naturressurser former politikk og institusjoner, eksempelvis hva slags politikk som er bra for fattige land som er rike på naturressurser. Liknende spørsmål om teknologi og styring har stor betydning for utvikling og design av offentlig helsepolitikk. Spørsmål om forbedringsteknologier har vært et viktig tema i prosjektet, på institusjonelt så vel som individuelt nivå. 
Det primære målet om å styrke samarbeid mellom institusjonene og styrke kvaliteten på forskingen i de utvalgte områdene har foregått gjennom aktiv bruk av workshops, konferanser, ph.d.-seminarer og aktiv inkludering av forskere på ulike nivå. Prosjektet har resultert i styrking av faglige nettverk mellom våre institusjoner, både som direkte resultat av aktivitetene i prosjektet, men like viktig gjennom utvidelse av nettverkene til internasjonale partnere som har vært invitert med som eksperter i våre workshops, seminarer og konferanser. Prosjektet har også bidratt til økt kontakt og samarbeid med øvrige anvendt etikk-prosjekter ved partnernes egne institusjoner. Et stort antall publikasjoner har kommet ut av prosjektet, ca. 120 foredrag og 6 fagfellevurderte artikler. Flere av presentasjonene er under bearbeiding for publisering i fagfellevurderte publiseringskanaler. 
Dette nettverksprosjektet har totalt sett bidratt til betydelig styrking av anvendt etikk som fagfelt i Norge ved å styrke nasjonale og internasjonale nettverk, forbedre kvaliteten og øke publikasjonsraten i gode publiseringskanaler, og har dessuten bidratt til å implementere nye søknader, forsknings- og bokprosjekter.

The primary objective is to strengthen the area of applied ethics as a growing field within Norwegian philosophy. The main topic of this project is governance and technology as seen from an applied ethics perspective. There are particularly two important  fields being addressed, i.e. environmental ethics focussing on natural resources, and bioethics/ health care ethics. The way technology influence governance in both of these fields gives rise to many ethical concerns, such as e.g. governance of resource a bundance, and the way natural resources shape institutions and policies. 

One of the urgent issues in this project has to do with governance of resource abundance, among others the question of how natural resources shape institutions and policies. As an  example, Technology and governance relate to which policies countries rich in natural resources should as this relates to institutional obstacles for sustainable politics and just institutions. 

Technology and governance also has a great impact on develo ping and designing of public health policies, and thus give rise to several ethical concerns, such as assessing the legitimacy of a normative recruitment approach to public health interventions in terms of screening, vaccination and health surveys. A thir d issue is related to enhancement technologies as these apply to institutional as well as individual levels.

We aim at improving the quality of publications, through co-authorship and more extended informal reviewing from colleagues at other institutions . Both topics of the project have great application potentials for two obvious reasons: (i) ethical issues on governance and use/impact of technology are highly debated and contested in the public domain, and (ii) the research to be undertaken is solidly  based in several larger projects with international partners. Thus, publications from the project aim at international publications of high quality.

Applied Ethics: Technology and Governance of Health and Natural Resources

Målet med dette prosjektet er å utvikle en prosjektgruppe ved Institutt for filosofi og førstesemsterstudier ved Universitetet i Bergen innenfor områdene sinnsfilosofi og politisk filosofi.

The core of the project is a series of workshops that will identify and develop collaborative research projects between researchers in the Philosophy Department in Bergen, collaborating partners in other institutions in Bergen, collaborating partners in T romsø and Trondheim, and key international researchers. The identified projects will be based on existing research interests among the members, but will have a unified focus on the use of empirical research to inform and shape the philosophical analysis,  and the use of philosophical analysis to inform and shape empirical research. This will allow extensive cross-fertilization across the individual research groups, and enable the research in Norway to be linked to one of the more exciting new developments  in Philosophy internationally during the past few years.

The project is comprised of two sub-groups, one in Political Philosophy and one in Philosophy of Mind. The Political Philosophy Group will collaborate with researchers in Trondheim and Tromsø, and  the Philosophy of Mind group will collaborate with researchers in Trondheim. In both of these universities there are associated projects that will be linked to this project, thus creating further interrelationships between Norwegian groups and researchers . In addition, there will be a core group of international researchers who will attend the meetings, and be co-authors on papers developed during the project.
The core groups in the three Departments of Philosophy will collaborate with other Departments i n Bergen and Trondheim: The Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration in Bergen, the two national centers for functional MRI in Bergen and Trondheim, the Center for International Health, University of Bergen, and the Christian Michelsen In stitute.

Philosophy, Neuroscience and Ethics - the Bergen Project Development Consortium

Evalueringsrapporten for filosofi og idéhistorie pekte blant annet på behovet for å utvikle nettverk og felles prosjekter innen idéhistoriefaget i Norge. Med denne søknaden ønsker idéhistorie å følge opp denne utfordringen. Prosjektet har sin base på idéh istorie i Oslo (primærsøker) og Bergen, men vil inkludere miljøer og fagpersoner andre steder (bl.a. Bø), slik at det får positive ringvirkninger også nasjonalt. Søknaden består av to elementer: en konferanse og en ordning for lærerutveksling.

1. Konfera nsen, som blir et punkttiltak og arrangeres i 2013, vil ha som tema: Idéhistorien i Norge. Sentrale felter vil være vitenskaps-, retts-, kunst-/litteratur- og politisk idehistorie, samt forholdet idéhistorie og filosofi. Dette vil være en viktig mulighet  til å presentere og diskutere fagets rolle og særpreg, historie og fremtid. Konferansen vil holdes i Bergen, men med et tett samarbeid Oslo/Bergen. Det legges opp til at konferansen leder til en publikasjon (rapport, bok el.l.).

2. Lærerutvekslingen, som  blir et regelmessig tiltak i 2012-2014, har til hensikt å etablere en mer permanent og tettere faglig kontakt mellom idéhistoriemiljøene i Oslo og Bergen, men også Bø. Det vil være en ordning der lærere på aktuelle emner bytter plass på enkeltforelesning er. Det totale omfang vil være 2-3 bytter pr. semester. Dette kan også kombineres med faggruppeseminarer med presentasjon av pågående forskning.

Tiltak for nettverksutvikling innen faget idéhistorie

The aim of the "Justice in Conflict" project is to contribute to current debate on justice, religion, and tolerance from the perspective of normative political theory. These issues have been widely discussed in the literature in recent years, and substant ial progress has been made. However, there is no established consensus on the methodology regarding the principles, theories, or conceptual tools required to analyze contemporary situations causing justice conflicts. Moreover, even if consensus is achieve d on core principles (e.g., liberty, equality, opportunities), there could still be disagreement regarding the relative importance of the principles themselves, and how we should proceed to help ensure and protect the values that these principles entail.
 
The "Justice in Conflict"  project will (i) critically assess some of the main theories and approaches in the field of contemporary normative political philosophy, focusing on justice in a global context, religion in the liberal state, and tolerance and  recognition in the public sphere; (ii) develop a framework, theoretical foundation, and conceptual tools; and (iii) use this theoretical framework to address some of the most pressing conflicts within a national and a global context. In addition, the proj ect will address gender issues relating to these dimensions.

The project consists of the following three research areas:
- Culture, deliberation, and tolerance
- Global justice, human rights, and human capabilities
- Gender, politics, and justice
