Abstract

IN CROATIAN: Pandemija bolesti COVID-19 pokazala je važnu ulogu koju znanost ima za društvo u cjelini, ali ukazala i na neke slabosti u odnosu znanosti i javnosti. Nacionalne strategije nošenja s pandemijom u manjoj ili većoj mjeri, ovisno o ekonomskim i drugim odrednicama, počivale su na znanosti, znanstvenicima i ekspertima te njihovim znanjima i rješenjima (primjerice, cijepljenje). No pandemija COVID-19 otvorila je i javna propitivanja same znanosti i prirode znanstvenih spoznaja. Dok su znanstveno-istraživačka djelatnost i procesi u „normalnim“ vremenima spori, dugotrajni i dobrim dijelom zatvoreni pred javnošću, pandemija je potaknula ubrzanu mobilizaciju svjetskih resursa, transformacije u procesu proizvodnje znanja, odnosno promjene u uobičajenim znanstvenim procedurama, ali i otvorila znanost očima javnosti u puno većoj mjeri nego ikad dosad. Kako su se znanstvenici i eksperti snalazili u „novonormalnim“ uvjetima, s kojim su se problemima susretali te kako su doživjeli svoju ulogu u pandemiji pitanja su na koje želimo odgovoriti. U tu svrhu provedeno je terensko istraživanje u obliku polustrukturiranih dubinskih intervjua sa znanstvenicima/stručnjacima iz biomedicinskih i prirodnih znanosti u Hrvatskoj koji su bili aktivni u nošenju s pandemijom. Cilj istraživanja bio je istražiti, opisati i razumjeti na koji su način eksperti/znanstvenici doživjeli različite aspekte pandemije, s naglaskom na ulozi ekspertize/znanosti u kontroliranju pandemije, promjenama u proizvodnji znanja, odnosu s javnošću i ulozi znanosti u krizama. --------------- IN ENGLISH: The COVID-19 disease pandemic showed the important role that science plays for society as a whole, but also pointed out some weaknesses in the relationship between the science and the public. National strategies for dealing with the pandemic to a lesser or greater extent, depending on economic and other determinants, rested on science, scientists and experts and their knowledge and solutions (for example, vaccination). But the COVID-19 pandemic has also opened up public questioning of science itself and the nature of scientific knowledge. While scientific research activities and processes in „normal“ times are slow, long-lasting and largely closed to the public, the pandemic has stimulated the accelerated mobilization of world resources, transformations in the process of knowledge production, i.e. changes in usual scientific procedures, but also opened science to the eyes of the public to a much greater extent than ever before. This paper deals with the question of how scientists and experts managed the „new normal“ conditions, what problems they encountered, and how they perceived their role in the pandemic. For this purpose, a field research was conducted in the form of semi-structured in-depth interviews with scientists/experts from biomedical and natural sciences in Croatia who were active in dealing with the pandemic. The aim of the research was to investigate, describe and understand how experts/scientists experienced different aspects of the pandemic, with an emphasis on the role of expertise/science in controlling the pandemic, changes in knowledge production, public relations and the role of science in crises.
