Research can provide effective information in social action battles. The kernels of the solutions exist in the communities. Successful collaboraton requires collaboration every step of the way. This breaks through the arrogance which creates research which is totally irrelevant. From academic side, we have developed view that we need community sensitive research.
Academics can provide translation service between community and other academics.
We create demand to write so the community can understand our research. We seek to develop trust. We provide a common ground between the university and the community, a free ground. We seek to better use the research capacity. We seek to link up needs of the community with those who can best provide it.
