 The debate named “Universities – Territorial Actors Relationship within the Framework of Action-Research: Potentialities and Limits” was moderated by Prof. Dr. Manuela A. De Paz Báñez. She organised the debate giving a brief speech about the conceptualisation, roles and relationships between territorial actors and university researchers within the framework of Action-Research (AR). Differences between traditional research and Durable Participative Collaborative AR have been detailed regarding to epistemological changes and different relationships between territorial actor and research actor. Some recommendations were given to improve relationships within the framework of participative AR.

Dr. De Paz provided participants with documents related to the issues treated in her speech. Few minutes were given to personal reflexion and writing notes in our papers. Debate was very animated due to the interesting contributions of participants, deeping in contents presented by the chair and coming with new ideas and aspects to be considered. Some of these contributions were related to think also in terms of the process or evolution from traditional research and participative AR. Some of the questions that arose were: How do we get to the aspects involved by AR? What are the obstacles to be overcome? Other issues were related to the importance of innovation within the process or the way policy is considered. Definition of every actor may be defined. Fears between different actors (including researchers) and financial issues were also pointed out.

15 papers were presented within this workshop moderated by Dr. Mª José ASENSIO COTO. The room was full this morning. In order to give space for the debate, the Chair asked participants to share four hours instead of two that were initially planned. Papers were organised in two sections. Each one was introduced by a lecture, followed by a report by Mª José ASENSIO of every paper, who gave time to authors to make remarks and comments. After that authors and other participants had time for debate and discussion.First two hours were assigned to papers presenting Action-Research examples with specific case studies. All of them were closely related to territory and focused on development. Conference introducing them was related to the demographic aspects and their impacts in Hungarian region. Issues discussed in the debate were related to industry interweaved in territory, methodology of observation for territorial dynamics, key territorial productive sectors among others.Second part of the session was devoted to papers conceptualising any aspect of Sustainable Development. Framework lecture was focused to the concept of territory introducing the evolution of socioeconomic context determining territorial evolution. Papers discussed had to do with governance within Sustainable Development, factors of competitiveness, and operationalisation of SD at project level proposing a check list, and migrations.
