CEVES er ramme for forskningsprojekter og formidlingsaktiviteter af sociologisk forskning i videnskab, ekspertise, teknologi og professioner i relation til en række aktuelle samfundsproblematikker. 

Centret har derudover til formål at arbejde for at udvikle nationale og internationale relationer og partnerskaber relateret til centerets forskning - herunder gæsteforelæsninger og faglige seminarer.

CEVES er stiftet i 2012 af Anders Blok, Kristoffer Kropp, Maria Duclos Lindstrøm, Margareta Bertilsson, Heine Andersen og Inge Kryger Pedersen.

Global Challenges, Local Solutions?
 



- Rethinking Professional Work in a World of Transnational Jurisdictions

The overall purpose of this research project is to address a central and still unsettled problem in contemporary sociology: how to account for the interplay of transnational professionals and the organization of professional knowledge at national and local levels. The project aims to empirically explore and theoretically explain how the making and dissemination of transnational standards is linked to the way professional groups in the Danish context propose and sustain solutions to large-scale challenges of climate change, low economic growth rates, and chronic lifestyle diseases. Our distinct contribution will be to develop a ‘cross-jurisdictional’ (cf. Abbott 1988)  model and approach which allows us to advance the understanding of how professional groups drive local-national governance engagements with urgent global challenges.
