Bulletin 3/18 «Open Data und Big Data: Neue Herausforderungen» (in German and French)
Wie in allen Bereichen gibt die Digitalisierung auch in den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften den Takt an: Schlüsselfaktoren sind der Zugang und die Wiederverwendung von Daten. Dies erfordert eine langfristige Sicherung, Regeln für die Verwertung, neue Methodologien sowie die Definition von Standards und Formaten.

Innovative Teaching Formats at the Science-Society Interface: Reflections and Future Directions in Swiss Higher Education
Science-society dialogue is crucial for addressing pressing societal challenges. One important avenue for strengthening this link, in an inter- and transdisciplinary perspective, is teaching formats that encourage students to engage in the public sphere. However, an illustrative collection of best practices in Swiss higher education has been lacking so far. This practice-driven report draws on a non-exhaustive stocktake of existing courses in Switzerland and participatory workshops among lecturers. It features illustrative examples from Swiss higher education institutions and introduces a new typology of science-society teaching formats, offering educators a structured way to design and analyze courses across six dimensions. In addition, the publication discusses both the opportunities and challenges of implementing such teaching formats. To further advance science-society education, the report identifies three priority areas for action.
