La recherche scientifique connaît une mutation majeure, dépassant les limites de l’approche disciplinaire traditionnelle. Désormais, ce ne sont plus seulement les quêtes de connaissances pures qui animent la communauté scientifique, mais également les enjeux et défis sociétaux mondiaux tels que la santé et l’environnement. Les citoyens cherchent des solutions pratiques à ces défis nécessitant l’ouverture à tous les domaines du savoir. Pour favoriser ces évolutions, il est impératif de créer des conditions propices à la réalisation de recherches impliquant la participation de la société dans son ensemble. Cela va au-delà de simplement inclure des individus non chercheurs dans la conception et la réalisation des projets scientifiques ; cela nécessite également l’engagement direct des chercheurs avec la société.
Abstract
Scientific research is currently undergoing a substantial transformation, that moves beyond the conventional boundaries of discipline-centric methodologies based on individual publishing. The scientific community is expanding its focus beyond the quest for fundamental knowledge, now driven by a stronger awareness of global societal issues, particularly in areas such as health and the environment. These challenges ask for feasible solutions that engage ordinary citizens. Disciplinary sciences, confined to their specific domains, are reaching their limits in addressing the complexity of today’s challenges, which require an openness to diverse fields of knowledge. In crucial areas such as public health and the environment, an interdisciplinary approach is essential for providing effective solutions. To enable this shift, it is essential to establish the conditions for a type of research that actively involves society. This inclusivity goes beyond researchers and encompasses non-researchers, involving them in the design and implementation of scientific projects. Researchers are now taking significant responsibilities regarding the major issues shaping our world.
