Cross-Sectoral Mobility Funding and the Challenge of Immersion: The Case of SSH
Hellström, Tomas; Hellström, Christina
Minerva: A Review of Science, Learning and Policy, v58 n3 p389-407 Sep 2020
Project funding rarely demands much change on behalf of the recipient. In contrast, cross-sectoral mobility funding requires recipients to change their environment and often some aspects of their research. There is a need to understand the impact on the researchers' experiences as knowledge producers within such programs, as part of the broader potential and significance of cross-sectoral mobility funding. This study draws on interviews with participants of the Swedish 'Flexit' program in order to develop a framework for assessing the dynamics and efficacy of such funding instruments. To do this, we develop a framework for understanding their cognitive effects; especially their 'immersive' potential, i.e., their ability to naturally involve the participant in their new setting. It proposes two dimensions along which such an assessment can take place: how the instrument challenges participants' knowledge production practices, and the level of immersion that participants are subject to as part of the program.
