Abstract
Dette speciale er et studie om Zero Waste Co-Lab, et projekt mellem to brasilianske universiteter, et dansk universitet (Aalborg Universitet) og affaldsbehandler på Bornholm, BOFA. Hovedformålet med denne afhandling er at forstå, hvordan partnere fra forskellige lande kan dele viden mellem begge lande eller endda skabe ny viden sammen. Forfatteren til dette speciale var en del af det meste af det første år af Zero Waste Co-Lab projektet, idet han indsamlede data ved at deltage og organisere alle aktiviteter og møder, lave interviews med partnerne, evaluere deltagerne i nævnte aktiviteter og analysere resultaterne. Analysen og diskussionen i dette speciale viser, at alle indledende succeskriterier fra Co-Laborators kan opnås i samarbejde med partnerne. For at det kan ske, er partnerne nødt til at arbejde hen imod det samme mål og specifikke temaer, som også leveres i dette speciale. De to tilgange til bedre at skabe og dele viden, baseret på Zero Waste Co-Lab projektet, er netværk med lokale stakeholders og samarbejde med studerende.
This master thesis is a study on Zero Waste Co-Lab, a project between two Brazilian universities, a Danish University (Aalborg University) and the waste management authority on Bornholm, BOFA. The main objective of this thesis is to understand how the partners from different countries can share knowledge between both countries or even create new knowledge together. The author of this thesis was part of most of the first year of the Zero Waste Co-Lab project, collecting data by participating and organizing all activities and meetings, doing interviews with the partners, evaluating the participants of said activities and analyzing the results. The analysis and discussion in this master thesis shows that all initial success criteria from the Co-Laborators can be achieved with collaboration of the partners. For that to happen the partners have to work towards the same goal and specific themes, those are delivered on this thesis as well. The two approaches to better create and share knowledge, based on the Zero Waste Co-Lab project, are networking with local stakeholders and collaborating with students.
