Over the past decades, we have witnessed calls for greater transdisciplinary engagement between scientific and societal actors to develop more robust answers complex challenges. Although there seems be agreement that these approaches might nurture innovations of a new kind, know little regarding research practices, their potential, limitations. To fill this gap, article investigates funding scheme in area sustainability research. It offers detailed analysis imaginaries expectations on which...

In recent years the concept of circular economy gained prominence in EU policy-making. The promotes a future which linear ‘make-use-dispose’ cultures are replaced by more models. this paper, we use sociotechnical imaginaries to ask how an imaginary circularity has been assembled and stabilized, imaginative resources were drawn on, goals, priorities, benefits risks haven merged with discourses innovation, sustainability growth. Drawing on policy documents interviews officers European...

Post-Normal Science (PNS) emphasises the need for scientists and policy-makers to iteratively co-analyse learn together, as part of an extended peer community. However, roles implications scientific experts when interacting with are not well understood. Informed by insights from science technology studies (STS) on modalities interaction multiple potential experts, we reflect our experiences working European agricultural policy within interdisciplinary H2020 MAGIC project.
