RR: EAGER Collaborative Research: Building Dynamic Research Communities in Global Legal Studies

比较和国际法律方法为未来的科学创新提供了基础。越来越多的人将复杂的法律框架作为我们时代最紧迫问题的解决方案。这些问题超越了国界、治理水平和政策专长领域，需要协调、合作和融合，以创建可持续的体制解决方案，以满足这些紧迫的社会需求。该项目为法律和社会科学领域的协作和融合研究社区试行了一种新模式。该项目旨在形成关键的联系、承诺和制度化，以确保对比较法和国际法研究的设计和实施方式以及研究结果和数据的传播方式进行变革性的改变。到目前为止，缺乏透明度、问责制有限、毕业生指导难以持续以及缺乏一个普遍接受的数据共享平台，导致了领域的碎片化和大量单一用途的数据项目。反过来，这又阻碍了维持解决突出法律问题的研究议程的能力。该项目开发了三个协作组件：数据基础设施、IDEA实验室和年度研究研讨会。总之，这些制度创新将确保法律和社会科学领域数据的可重复性、可复制性和普及性，并将创建一种新的多学科和跨学科协作团队模式，更好地应对全球法律挑战的复杂性和广泛性。

Comparative and international legal approaches provide the foundation for future scientific innovation. Complex legal frameworks are increasingly offered as the solution to the most pressing issues of our time. The issues transcend borders, levels of governance, and areas of policy expertise demanding coordination, collaboration, and convergence to create sustainable institutional solutions to these pressing societal needs.This project pilots a new model for collaborative and convergent research communities in law and social sciences. The project aims to form the critical connections, commitments, and institutionalization to ensure a transformative change in how research on comparative and international law is designed and implemented, and how the findings and data from the research are disseminated. To date, lack of transparency, limited accountability, poorly-sustained graduate mentorship, and an absence of a commonly-accepted platform for data sharing have led to a fragmented field and a large number of single-use data projects. In turn, this has hampered the ability to sustain research agendas resolving salient legal questions. The project develops three collaborative components: data infrastructure, Idea Labs, and an Annual Research Workshop. Together, these institutional innovations will ensure the reproducibility, replicability, and generalizability of data in the field of law and social sciences, and they will create a new multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborative team model that is better equipped to embrace the complexity and scope of global legal challenges.
