Kurzdokumentation 1. GTPF-Jahrestagung „Neue Horizonte in der transdisziplinären Forschung“

Mit ihrer ersten Jahrestagung „Neue Horizonte in der transdisziplinären Forschung“ hat die Gesellschaft für transdisziplinäre und partizipative Forschung e.V. (GTPF) ein starkes Signal gesendet für eine Forschung, die gemeinsam mit der Gesellschaft denkt, wirkt und gestaltet. Der Schwung aus diesen zwei Tagen wird in die nächsten Schritte getragen – durch Projekte, Diskussionen und Vernetzung.

Eine kurze Dokumentation der Tagung ist nun hier verfügbar!

Update: new blog posts by our fellows

Our fellows Luis Antonio Bojórquez Tapia and Julia Backhaus share insights into their exciting work at ITAS and the Oeko-Institute in their blog posts.

Julia Backhaus developed a taxonomy for methods of transdisciplinary research in the "Built and Lived Environment" profile area at RWTH Aachen University. Luis Bojórquez demonstrates how strategic infrastructures can strengthen transdisciplinary research and help institutions become hubs for change.

tdAcademy

Our team is currently researching four topics that are central to transdisciplinary research: Contextual dependencies, new formats, and social and scientific effects of transdisciplinary research. What are these topics about? How do we approach them? How can the community support research?

tdCommunity

Our website is a research platform and gathering point for transdisciplinary researchers and research on transdisciplinarity. In the tdCommunity section, researchers with similar interests meet: you can network directly, find partners for collaborations, and draw attention to your own events. In addition, we collect projects together with you to create an overview of the transdisciplinary research landscape.

tdEvents & Capacity Building

The transdisciplinary research landscape is diverse. Around the research mode we can learn a lot from each other. Therefore, the tdAcademy offers and collects events and further education opportunities. Our event calendar creates an overview: Here you can add your own events on transdisciplinarity.
