关于学术和研究机构在区域可持续性倡议中的潜在作用的讨论不可避免地提出了科学在整个社会中的作用问题。在民主社会中，可以说，科学与社会的关系应该建立在建立相互对话并使之制度化的基础上，不仅使公众关注的问题可见，而且使公众成为平等的伙伴。为了通过与不同利益攸关方建立对话来履行参与区域服务倡议的学术机构的社会责任，一种可能的方法是结合服务学习的教育模式进行参与性行动研究。这里报告的PAR项目旨在促进匈牙利东北部一个社会经济条件最差的农村地区的自下而上的小区域一级的可持续性规划和发展进程。这一大学-社区伙伴关系的一些主要成果是对可持续性的贡献，包括通过各种小规模项目激活当地能力和在当地各利益攸关方群体之间建立网络，以及共同制定一个以社会为基础、以社区为基础的微型区域农村发展计划。
Discussions about the potential role of academic and research institutions in regional sustainability initiatives (RSIs) inevitably raise the issue of the role of science in society in general. In democratic societies, it can be argued that science–society relationships should be based on establishing and institutionalizing mutual dialogues, making public concerns not only visible but the public as equal partner. In order to fulfil the social responsibilities of academic institutions involved in RSIs through establishing dialogues with diverse stakeholders, a possible methodology is conducting participatory action research (PAR) combined with the educational model of service learning. The PAR project reported here aims at facilitating a bottom-up, micro-region level sustainability planning and development process in one of the most socio-economically disadvantaged rural areas of north-east Hungary. Some of the main results of this university–community partnership were its contribution to sustainability, including the activation of local capabilities and networking across various local stakeholder groups through various small-scale projects and the co-production of a socially grounded and landscape-based rural development plan for the micro-region.
