Abstract
This thesis studies the Zero Waste Co-Lab, a collaboration between two Brazilian universities, Aalborg University (Denmark), and BOFA, the waste management authority on Bornholm. Its aim is to understand how partners from different countries can share knowledge and even co-create new knowledge. The author participated in most of the project’s first year, helping to plan and run activities and meetings, interviewing partners, gathering participants’ feedback, and analyzing the results. The analysis indicates that the project’s initial success criteria can be achieved when partners align on a common purpose and work within agreed themes, which the thesis also outlines. It highlights two practical approaches for creating and sharing knowledge in this context: building networks with local stakeholders and collaborating with students.
Dette speciale undersøger Zero Waste Co-Lab, et samarbejde mellem to brasilianske universiteter, Aalborg Universitet (Danmark) og BOFA, Bornholms affaldshåndteringsmyndighed. Formålet er at forstå, hvordan partnere fra forskellige lande kan dele viden og endda samskabe ny viden. Forfatteren deltog i det meste af projektets første år, var med til at planlægge og gennemføre aktiviteter og møder, interviewede partnerne, indsamlede deltagernes feedback og analyserede resultaterne. Analysen peger på, at projektets indledende succeskriterier kan opnås, når partnerne enes om et fælles formål og arbejder inden for aftalte temaer, som specialet også skitserer. Specialet fremhæver to praktiske tilgange til at skabe og dele viden i denne sammenhæng: at opbygge netværk med lokale interessenter og at samarbejde med studerende.
