Wetenschappers die transdisciplinair onderzoek willen doen, hebben heel wat hordes te nemen. Het kost tijd om elkaar te vertrouwen en te begrijpen wat de ander zegt. Maar als dat lukt, heb je ook écht wat in handen, laat het project @SCOOP_Program zien: nwo.nl/cases/de-scoop…

@NSV_Sociologie Interested in this day, or any of the other (Dutch-language) Course days by @NSV_Sociologie? See sociologie.nl/duurzame-samen…!

#SCOOPProg Members prof. Rafael Wittek and dr. Liesbet Heyse hosted the first @NSV_Sociologie course on Sociology and Policy last Friday. During the meeting, they discussed matters of cooperation in times of decentralization.

Three pictures of last Thursday’s #SCOOPProg PhD Course. During this day, all second-year SCOOP PhDs and three faculty members worked on institutionalized collective action together. How do communities manage to avoid a tragedy of the commons?

We are very proud of #SCOOPProg Member prof. dr. Naomi Ellemers, who yesterday received an honorary doctorate from @UCLouvain_be! See uclouvain.be/en/research-in…

Recently, an article by #SCOOPProg Member Professor Russell Spears (@rug_gmw) argues for the cohesive powers of social media in social relations, instead of the more cynical view of the Internet disconnecting individuals. See scoop-program.org/news-events-2/…

November’s SCOOP Seminar at @rug_gmw just kicked off! Today, #SCOOPProg Members prof. Rafael Wittek and PhD Francisca Wals (@wijsbegeerte) discuss the relation between States, Voters, and Capital.

Damion Bunders, one of our current #SCOOPProg PhD’s, has recently given a lecture on platform coops, which are also the subject of his PhD research. Fortunately, you can see the entire lecture (around 15 minutes) online!

We are proud of #SCOOPProg Member prof. Mark Bovens (@UUUSBO) for winning @VBbestuurskunde's L.P. Van de Spiegel-award for his oeuvre bridging public administration and policy! Read more about in (in Dutch) on bestuurskunde.nl/2019/11/01/l-p…

Today, our monthly #SCOOPProg Seminar Session is hosted by prof. Frank Hindriks (@wijsbegeerte) who is describing to us how institutions are norm-governed social practices. How, then, does this help us analyze sustainable cooperation?
