The main goal of this chapter is to share the experiences and present the lessons generated when we researchers in the STS field put ourselves through this twofold concrete action that produced in our research work a dynamic transformation. We want to stress in particular that, in a coconstruction dynamic, the problem agenda, knowledge generation, and researcher concerns and activities, and also the very notion of what a researcher is, changed. Using a reflexive methodology, we analyze a set of concurrent dynamics that produced the transformative dynamic of making & doing in the Quilmes team: a modification of the research agenda and generation of new concepts and a transformation of researcher praxis, integrating design skills in public policies and as direct, on-site implementers of those public policies
