Although research has been performed on participatory mechanisms in science and technology such as brokering, little seems written on intermediary organizations, e.g. science museums, taking up and embedding a participation brokerage role and systemic factors influencing these. This paper presents a qualitative case study in which six different intermediary organizations developed their participation brokerage role in a European RRI project. We demonstrate how structuring factors in the project context, the intermediary organization and the broader systemic context influenced the participation brokerage role take-up and embedding. Our findings yield implications for future capacity building endeavors among participation brokers in the making.

参与经纪人正在形成：中介机构在科学社会界面中扮演并嵌入新角色

尽管已经对诸如中介等科技参与机制进行了研究，但似乎很少有关于中介组织（如科学博物馆）承担并嵌入参与中介角色以及影响这些角色的系统性因素的文章。本文介绍了一个定性案例研究，其中六个不同的中介组织在欧洲 RRI 项目中发展了他们的参与经纪角色。我们展示了项目环境、中介组织和更广泛的系统环境中的结构因素如何影响参与经纪角色的承担和嵌入。我们的研究结果对参与经​​纪人未来的能力建设工作产生了影响。
