We are a global, collaborative community working to reimagine knowledge production across disciplines, languages, and cultures. We strive to develop a bottom-up approach emerging from the Glocademia conceptualisation and implementation based on the promotion of critical meta-research, interdisciplinary, plurilingual, intercultural and inter-epistemic knowledge co-creation in the context of transnational teambuilding.

Group Objectives

• Create, experiment and evaluate a coordinated model for academic and non-academic researchers’ interdisciplinary professional development, behavioural change and implementation innovation;
• Map methodologies that promote systemic and complex thinking, and implement transversal skills, targeting plurilingual, intercultural and often inter-epistemic teamwork, aimed to diversify career enhancement paths;
• Achieve innovative, collaborative and participatory methodologies, within the Glocademia conceptual matrix and praxis, to be implemented, monitored and evaluated, onsite and online;
• Provide researchers, policymakers, stakeholders, and the wider public, with tools for plurilingual and critical intercultural, and decolonial teamwork at intranational, transnational and intercontinental levels;
• Produce evidence on the impacts of teamwork, outreach activities, communication and dissemination skills for systemic thinking and researchers/stakeholders’ relationships and their connection with wider society.

Group Meetings

Cultnet-Glocademia Interest Group meetings (90 min each) have been held every month since September 2023. In mid-2023 Manuela Guilherme, Centre for Social Studies, University of Coimbra, and Manuela Wagner, University of Connecticut, the former a member of an international research group (Cultnet Intercultural Communication)  since its foundation and the latter for some years now, decided to create an online Interest Group, within the CULTNET network, but not restricted to it, focused on the Glocademia matrix (Guilherme 2022). The IG aims to expand the theoretical framework while encouraging group members to explore practical applications within their current research projects, educational contexts, and experiences
