Real experiment
In real experiments is social processes, the experimental trains carry, without running in the narrow sense in the science system. The concept of real world experiments is linked to the thesis that society is increasingly (directly or indirectly) involved in processes of scientific knowledge production. Social development is thus characterized by experimental processes in which technical and ecological risks and ignorance gain in importance.
Such forms of experimentation can be found e.g. B. in projects for sustainable urban development, the implementation of new technologies, in the field of nature conservation and ecology, green genetic engineering or in social reform.
Current discussions on real laboratories and urban laboratories as research and transformation instruments are linked to the concept of real experiments .
