Why transdisciplinary research?

Complex societal challenges are best addressed with an approach bringing together scientists, decision makers, and affected people. This approach is called transdisciplinary research (TDR).

In TDR actors cooperate. They analyse the problems, develop visions of desirable futures, and work on the strategies and actions supporting necessary changes. In this video all educators explain why they engage in TDR.
