Abstract

Fra første slide: The status and ambition as we saw it: - The status of the field of peripheral studies were defined as lacking ... - We also used the term underresearched. - “At the same time, the scientific-analytical dimension has a clear orientation towards generalisable knowledge with broad possibilities of applied dimensions... The definition of 'applied' and 'benefits' will also contribute and be privileged by an action-orientated approach”. - The search for a more stringent conceptual discussion and development, creating a foundation for conceptual stringency and future interaction on a general although mutual platform.
