Open Online Course on Transdisciplinary Research
Partnering for Change: Link Research to Societal Challenges
How can we address societal challenges with research? Investigate principles, processes, and applications of transdisciplinarity.
The course presents transdisciplinary research as a living experience. With a basis on sound theoretical and methodological background, five outstanding projects illustrate promising different ways of dealing with complex societal challenges. The projects address a) health care for mobile pastoralists, b) water scarcity in the Alps, c) coping with decline in a mountain village, d) labour migration, and e) governance of antimicrobial resistance. Starting from these challenges, the course will take learners on a journey through the main phases and steps of transdisciplinary research projects.
