td-net | Network for Transdisciplinary Research

Thank you for the reading recommendation, and indeed, open access is a great initiative, especially for those with limited access to libraries. We highly value the availability of knowledge and information, also on behalf of our global community. #ITDAlliance

Curious about what ITD24 has in store? The exciting and dynamic program is now live! There may still be a ticket left for those making last-minute plans, but we're thrilled to announce that this unique conference in a one-of-a-kind location is almost sold out. Don't miss your chance to be there! Just click on: https://lnkd.in/dmAhDqvJ Iris van der Tuin, Jasper van Burken, Timothy Bland, Tobias Buser #ITDAlliance Gabriele Bammer

Are you considering developing a new toolkit for inter- and transdisciplinary research? What key questions should you ask yourself before embarking on such an endeavor? If you're a funder, how do you decide whether to support existing toolkits or invest in the creation of new ones? And how can these toolkits help your reviewers evaluate grant proposals? Have you thought about these questions? We'd love to hear your reflections and insights in the comments!

We are pleased to share the global ITD Alliance top news with you. The August newsletter brings you news from the Alliance Leadership Board, working groups and other projects. And, of course, an update on the ITD24 conference in Utercht. Gabriele Bammer Caryn Anderson 👇 https://lnkd.in/ezBJtSHk

The td-net is dedicated to improving the quality of transdisciplinary research. In addition to engaging with researchers and building capacity, td-net works directly with funding agencies that explicitly require transdisciplinary approaches in their calls for proposals. Read the interview where td-net explains its collaboration with the Swiss Federal Office of Energy's (SFOE) energy research program SWEET. https://lnkd.in/es2AjpyT I thank my team for their dedication, especially Stefan Müller, Minea Mäder, and Johan Nöthiger, and the SWEET Office for the excellent collaboration, support and trust Andreas Haselbacher, Annina Faes, Laura Ding

This is a great achievement by the global network of the ITD Alliance: In this article we do not address a specific research question; instead, we use our review and reflections to spotlight the unrecognized expertise involved in the creation, maintenance, and study of toolkits—three practices in a bundle we call toolkitting. Toolkitting involves a unique form of ITD expertise, distinct from the research expertise toolkits themselves aim to support. With strategic development, toolkitting expertise can build the ITD field and unleash the potential of ITD toolkits.

The demand for clear unequivocal definitions of #interdisciplinarity & #transdisciplinarity is growing. See why agreeing on such definitions is so hard, plus ideas for the way forward in my i2Insights contribution at https://lnkd.in/gWA5AExF. Various forms of interdisciplinarity & transdisciplinarity are covered in Julie Thompson Klein’s analysis of typologies, ranging from tool borrowing to the epistemological quest for systematic integration of knowledge. She showed why a single straightforward definition of interdisciplinarity & transdisciplinarity is impossible. Is it even desirable? How do you think the tractability of interdisciplinarity & transdisciplinarity can be improved while also respecting and embracing a plurality of perspectives & practices? Please add your views and comments to the post. #I2Sresources Robert Frodeman Michael ORourke Gerald Midgley Lorrae van Kerkhoff Chris Browne Chris Ballard Caryn Anderson Daniel Black Annette Boaz Paul Bolger Frédéric Darbellay BinBin Jiang Pearce Holly Falk-Krzesinski Dena F.

6 interventions that provide #decisionsupport to teams are described by Etiënne Rouwette and L. Alberto Franco in https://lnkd.in/gMGfw6Be. They support divergent & convergent thinking in #decisionmaking: 1) brainstorming & nominal group technique, 2) clustering & prioritising, 3) group model building, 4) group causal mapping, 5) decision conferencing, & 6) participatory scenario development. For more on decision making, see https://lnkd.in/giPs2Bgx and on #teamwork, see https://lnkd.in/gDADhJQF. #I2Sresources Catherine Hobbs Gerald Midgley Maike Hamann Tanja Hichert Nadia Sitas Sondoss Elsawah Joseph Guillaume Jen Badham Raimo P.
