Är du lönsam lille vän (och för vem)?! Operationaliseringen av samverkan och dess implikationer för humaniora! Björn Hammarfelt,! Högskolan i Borås!! Peter Tillberg, 1972 (Gläns över sjö och strand, 1970)!! Metricsseminarium: Forskningens genomslag utanför akademin, 22 maj 2017!
Upplägg! Impactagendan! Humaniora och samverkan! Vinnovas samverkansmodell! Diskussion!
Impactagendan! För stort fokus på inomvetenskaplig nytta/relevans! Etablerade indikatorer (citeringar/peer review/ anslag) begränsar inflytandet från samhället ( excellensagendan )! Krav från samhället att forskning ska bidra till att lösa sociala problem och öka tillväxten! Forskningspropositionen: Kunskap i samverkan!
Impact (REF)! Impact includes, but is not limited to, an effect on, change or benefit to: - the activity, attitude, awareness, behaviour, capacity, opportunity, performance, policy, practice, process or understanding - of an audience, beneficiary, community, constituency, organization or individuals - in any geographic location whether locally, regionally, nationally, or internationally. Impact includes the reduction or prevention of harm, risk, cost or other negative effects.
Först testat 2014! Case study approach (fyra sidor)! Paneler! 2 stjärnor minimum! Panelister fokuserar på outcome, men när blir impact en outcome? (Samuel & Derrick, 2015)!
[The] number of times that appears in NHS policy documents or department of health policy documents... that s impact of [The] number of times that appears in NHS policy documents or department of health policy documents... that s impact of a kind, but I think that s a sort of second-level impact... frontline is patient impact; the second line behind that would be having an impact on policy and practice documents (P3 OutImp1) (Samuel & Derrick, s. 236)
Productive interactions!. are defined as the mechanisms through which research (and other) activities lead to societal relevant applications. An interaction entails a contact between a researcher and a stakeholder. Interactions are distinguished in three categories, direct (between people), indirect (via media) or material (financial or other forms of support). The interaction is productive when it leads to efforts by stakeholders to apply research results to societal goals, i.e. when it induces behavioural change. (Productive interactions, LERU position paper, s. 15)
Humaniora och samverkan! Wolfgang Sauber, Kapelle,Elfenbeinerner Turm. via Wikimedia Commons! Rather than the humanities being pre-scientific, it is the natural sciences which until very recently have been presocial. (Gibbons et al., 1994, p. 99).

Diskussion! Humaniora och samhällsvetenskap utvärderas återigen med en modell utvecklad för teknologi/naturvetenskap/medicin?! Framväxten av en ny grupp - Impact officers/managers! Kritik (främst från de äldre universiteten och från samhällsvetare och humanister)! Liten konkret effekt men kan påverka mindre lärosäten (specialisering mot tillämpad forskning)! Större differentiering mellan lärosäten?! Livslängd ca 4-7 år! Utvärderingströtthet!
