KLI Colloquia are informal, public talks that are followed by extensive dissussions. Speakers are KLI fellows or visiting researchers who are interested in presenting their work to an interdisciplinary audience and discussing it in a wider research context. We offer three types of talks:
1. Current Research Talks. KLI fellows or visiting researchers present and discuss their most recent research with the KLI fellows and the Vienna scientific community.
2. Future Research Talks. Visiting researchers present and discuss future projects and ideas togehter with the KLI fellows and the Vienna scientific community.
3. Professional Developmental Talks. Experts about research grants and applications at the Austrian and European levels present career opportunities and strategies to late-PhD and post-doctoral researchers.
- The presentation language is English.
- If you are interested in presenting your current or future work at the KLI, please contact the Scientific Director or the Executive Manager.

Topic description / abstract:
Global challenges such as climate change, food security, and public health require interaction between vastly different epistemic communities from Indigenous farmers to Western lab scientists. While stakeholder inclusion has become widely embraced in international development, its epistemology remains underdeveloped. Based on anthropological debates about cross-cultural relativity/universality of biological knowledge, this talk outlines an epistemology of inclusive development that is critically reflective about both opportunities and limitations of knowledge integration.
