Objective: To investigate how individuals navigate health knowledge in the digital society, and to develop a tool box of analytical concepts for analysis of how health related knowledge, information and misinformation is produced and distributed.
Outcome:
- A European based multidisciplinary research network that produces transdisciplinary review articles and books. http://knowledge-landscapes.hiim.hr/
- From 2017: annual conferences that take place around Europe with NKL members as local hosts. http://knowledge-landscapes.hiim.hr/index.php/events/
- The conference has been a key context for European junior scholars, and a network from which collaboration, network applications (COST Action) and research applications (CHANSE) have been developed and submitted.
- Joint events with H2020 PANELFIT (www.panelfit.eu). Collaboration with SRA Europe (https://sraeurope.eu/) and DiPEx International (https://dipexinternational.org/) have been formalised and made visible through NKL events, applications and publications.
- A series of referee articles, primarily but not solely in Croatian Medical Journal, two anthologies (2021 https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-981-15-8206-6;
2019 https://www.medicinskanaklada.hr/navigating-knowledge-landscapes), one Special Issue for ICS (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/1369118X.2020.1784507), two new Dataset during COVID-19, and articles analysing these Datasets (includes https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2020.606635/full).
- It is rare to find a group of approximately 100 researchers covering the broad range of social sciences, technology, medicine, law, and the humanities working together on joint projects. Thus, the unique contribution of the NKL network is the way natural scientists (including medicine) collaborate with social scientists (including the humanities). The plurality of epistemologies and methods has shown to be a lesser challenge, and the plurality of knowledge traditions has been acknowledged. (This is in line with one of the background texts, written by the NKL chair https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0963662510376284).
