Focus of the meeting
Knowledge Without Borders. Sharing Knowledge, Creating Impact explores how research can be shared, challenged, and transformed into societal impact across disciplinary boundaries. Through talks on collaboration in conflict settings, constructive feedback practices, and innovative approaches to artistic research, participants will examine how knowledge is created and communicated in diverse contexts.
The partnership between the Swedish Defence University and Stockholm University of the Arts highlights the value of bridging scientific, strategic, and artistic perspectives, demonstrating how cross-sector collaboration can generate new insights and strengthen the relevance and impact of research. Interactive discussions and workshops provide opportunities to exchange experiences, build networks, and develop new approaches to knowledge sharing.
