The Ethos of Integrative Research: The case of systems biology

The Ethos of Integrative Research: The case of systems biology

It now seems to be accepted, or at least not especially controversial, that large-scale, socially relevant science projects should include or "integrate" social and humanist research. Initiatives for such, integrative, research include the Human Genome Project in the US and EU Framework Programmes, as well as Biotek 2021 and Nano 2021 in the Norwegian context.

This general agreement is surprising. Proponents' analyses of why such integration is needed are not uniform, nor clearly articulated, and there are few worked-out methods or exemplary cases for how integration is to be carried out. This two-day workshop invites participants from different experiments of integration in order to create an arena where methods and rationales can be further discussed. Through this discussion we examine:

What is the ethos of integrative research?  

What character of research is formed and manifested through its practices (be they related to ethics or epistemology), and what are its actual and envisioned moral implications? What is experienced as good, or worth doing by practitioners experimenting on integration?

We focus discussion by examining the work of differently integrated systems biology research groups in Norway and abroad, and we also invite researchers experimenting on integration in different science arenas to join us.

You may find paper abstracts here and our workshop programme here.
