Webinars · January–March 2025 Eight methodological webinars to strengthen MaHeWa’s interdisciplinary dynamic |
|
From January to March 2025, the MaHeWa project pulsed with energy through a series of eight methodological webinars, orchestrated by Catherine Sabinot (ESPACE-DEV, IRD, New Caledonia) as part of Work Package 3 (WP3). These gatherings brought together researchers from diverse research units with the aim of exploring innovative methodologies to analyse the socio-economic vulnerability of island societies and strengthen the project’s interdisciplinary dynamic.
A space for methodological sharing The webinars provided a valuable platform to present and discuss approaches tailored to island contexts, such as New Caledonia or Fiji. Each session delved into a specific methodology applied to concrete issues, while fostering rich exchanges among participants.
Discussions shaping the project’s future and collaborative dimension Each webinar, structured to balance conciseness and depth, combined a methodological presentation, reflection on its application to the MaHeWa project, and an interactive discussion period. These exchanges helped consolidate common approaches, identify tools to share, and strengthen synergies among members. Participants particularly valued the ability to adapt methods to the specificities of the studied sites while exploring interdisciplinary perspectives. This series marked a key milestone for MaHeWa, laying the foundation for a shared methodological toolkit. The discussions not only enriched ongoing work but also paved the way for future post-docs and interns joining the project. The webinars strengthened team cohesion and opened avenues for cross-cutting research, particularly around the resilience of socio-ecosystems and the well-being of island communities.
