While knowledge transfer in economic and technical sciences is a matter of frequent research, knowledge transfer in social sciences and humanities (SSH) has not been examined sufficiently in the last few decades. In order to fill the research gap, this paper presents results from a study conducted at an Austrian university. Eighteen scientists were interviewed with regards to a definition, common examples, motivators and obstacles as well as visions of SSH knowledge transfer. Interview transcripts have been analyzed qualitatively. Results were compared with quantitative data derived from the research documentation system of the university.A comprehensive definition of SSH knowledge transfer is presented. Motivators turned out to be closely linked to perceived personal and civic duties. Obstacles were described as being attributable to a focus on 'science to science' achievements within the scientific community.

“…There is not even a consistent nomenclature that has gained acceptance in scientific research. Common examples include for example 'knowledge transfer', 'knowledge exchange', 'knowledge mobilization' or 'knowledge translation and transfer' (Phipps, Jensen, and Myers 2012).…”

“…It was started to address the long history of research having difficulties getting it to the people who can implement it (Brown & Duguid, 2000;Nutley, Walter, & Davies, 2007). Knowledge mobilisation (KMb) is designed to help with sharing information (Phipps, Jensen, & Myers, 2012). The KMb field uses a variety of tools to assist in moving knowledge to people who can use it (Cooper & Shewchuk, 2015).…”

or Résumé:My presentation focuses on the movement of information and knowledge to create social change. I explore whether Knowledge Mobilization (KMb) units could assist grassroots movements in sharing their goals and information with a broader audience. I do so through a textual analysis of a KMb unit social media and publications. Findings suggest that while a KMb does provide a variety of services, they are focused on supporting academics. Thus, it is unclear if connecting with a KMb unit would help a grassroots movement.

Der Begriff ‚Wissenstransfer' wird sowohl in der Scientific Community, als auch in unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen Sphären außerhalb des Wissenschafts-und Forschungsbereiches verwendet (Mitton et al. 2007; Castro-Martínez, Molas-Gallart, and Olmos-Peñuela 2010; Geuna and Muscio 2009). Dennoch gibt es keine einheitliche Definition, sodass verschiedene Gruppen innerhalb und auch außerhalb der Universitäten unterschiedliche Ansichten dazu haben, was genau unter Wissenstransfer zu verstehen ist. In den Geistes-, Sozial und Kulturwissenschaften (GSK-Wissenschaften) scheint dieses Phänomen besonders ausgeprägt zu sein (Phipps, Jensen, and Myers 2012; Küchler 2017). So existieren auch andere Begrifflichkeiten, die teilweise als Synonyme verwendet werden oder aber für bestimmte Teilaspekte stehen. Gängige Varianten inkludieren etwa Wissensvermittlung, (Wissens-) Dissemination oder Wissensmanagement (Schmid and Krcmar 2015). In der englischsprachigen Literatur finden sich neben der gängigen Variante knowledge transfer beispielsweise auch knowledge mobilization, knowledge dissemination oder research utilization (Phipps, Jensen, and Myers 2012). Da Wissenstransfer ein umfangreiches Feld ist, gibt es ein großes Spektrum unterschiedlicher Komponenten und Subdisziplinen, die
