SEMINAR OBJECTIVES

The UGaDI network, created in September 2020 has organised this Seminar with the aim to:

1 Create online spaces of encounters for researchers, professors and students, where each participant research group can present their theoretical or empirical approaches, and explore ways to improve them through exchange and networking.

2. Disseminate ongoing debates and approaches towards governance innovation among students and collectively work towards a joint agenda that can inform future collaborative inter-disciplinary research projects or proposals.

3. Help actors involved in research and practice of ongoing governance innovations overcome difficulties cast by the COVID crisis and imagine avenues to continue collaboration and mutual support between students, researchers and practitioners.

4. Enable meta-learning about the ways collective learning processes can be initiated, both locally and internationally, through implementing multi-layered learning and co-creation process.es
