———–

In continuation to the SIRCA III programme where theoretical frameworks and white papers were formed in Phase I, the programme calls on project teams to empirically test these theoretical frameworks. This addresses the second objective of SIRCA: “interrogating, validating and testing emergent theoretical frameworks with empirical evidence”, each team was represented by at least one member at the collaboration workshop in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA which happened from 1st to 2nd June 2016. For the workshop, SIRCA hopes to encourage collaboration and develop combined research design between the theoretical and empirical teams, achieve consensus and generate discussion, building upon the concept of openness within the SIRCA programme.
