How do people think and why it matters? Sociology elements.

How do social structures shape the way we think—and act? For the third episode of Bridging Minds, we shift our focus to the sociological dimensions that frame every concept humans interact with. Knowledge isn’t just constructed individually—it’s shaped by culture, community, and context. From professional cultures to network dynamics, these frameworks act as invisible scripts, guiding how we understand the world, each other, and ourselves.

In this session, we’ll explore:

• Culture creation and group dynamics: How collectives create their own culture and what effect this has on potential outcome of our actions; how they can both enable and hinder collaboration.

Why does this matter for science-policy interfaces? Because misunderstandings often stem from unrecognized differences in socially constructed knowledge. When these gaps go unaddressed, they lead to friction, miscommunication, and missed opportunities for meaningful collaboration.

• How to **transcend group frontiers and work at the interface **to achieve the change needed. Translation, reflexivity, learning, emotions. All eyes on the process!
• A practical example through the LIFE Natur’Adapt.

Join us to learn how to bridge the gaps between diverse stakeholders.
