The ‘accompanying research’ (‘Begleitforschung’) project INSIGHTS carried out jointly by Eawag and EPFL will derive overarching lessons learned and best practices on how to engage with different societal actors at science-practice and science-policy interfaces, using four Joint Initiative Projects as empirical case studies.

- How are dialogue processes in JIs structured and developed over time?
- What challenges and opportunities do project members (researchers and societal actors) experience? What strategies do they employ to overcome challenges and leverage opportunities?
- What contributions do JIs make to science and society?
- What lessons learned and best practices can be derived for future initiatives aiming at engaging with different societal actors at science-society interfaces?

**Your profile**
- and transdisciplinarity in both theory and practice and are expected to have good integrative skills and high social and emotional intelligence. The position is fixed to a period of two years and preferably starts in spring/summer 2025.
