TRANSDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AT THE SCIENCE | SOCIETY INTERFACE WITHIN AN INTERCULTURAL ORIENTATION
Leuphana University Lüneburg is pleased to invite you to the 6th Td Summer School in Lüneburg, Germany. The Td SUMMER SCHOOL offers a 5-day intensive training (Td Training Module) on transdisciplinary research that will prepare researchers and practitioners for transformative research on societal challenges at the science | society interface. Participants will gain input on theoretical and methodological foundations as well as experience in designing and implementing transdisciplinary research processes. The aim is to broaden academic researchers’ disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives towards a transdisciplinary approach and to enable practitioners to elaborate their role in transdisciplinary research processes. This year a particular focus is on interculturality to foster exchangebetween researchers and practitioners from different world regions and to mutually learn from different transdisciplinary research traditions. Subsequently, an optional 2-day seminar on ‘Virtual Environments to Facilitate Participatory Processes’ (Special Training Module) will take place.
As a side event an intercultural agenda setting workshop on transdisciplinary research and sustainability will be realized. People from different world regions who are interested in continuous collaboration to further develop epistemological and methodological foundations and practices of transdisciplinary research and sustainability are invited to participate.
