New in the td-net Toolbox: Theory of change

A theory of change (ToC) is a model of a change process. It provides a description and explanation of how and why an activity or a set of activities (such as a project or program) is expected to lead or contribute to a process of change. A ToC is not a single theory but a set of theories that describes and explains the multiple steps in a change process. The approach recognizes that socio-ecological systems are complex, and that causal processes are often non-linear with multiple interactions and feedback loops. The method has been provided by > Rachel Claus > Brian Belcher> More information

Early career scientist transdisciplinary workshop

This workshop is designed together with the team of Swiss TD-Net for late master students, PhDs and early PostDocs for learning and actively training interdisciplinary (ITD) and transdisciplinary (TD) methods. Applicants from every discipline that are familiar with challenges and finding solutions in food production systems (e.g. land scarcity, growing soil degradation, food safety, overexploitation of natural resources and higher ethical demands) or are interested in learning about it are eligible to apply. This workshop aims to enforce the participants ITD/TD understanding of real world problems and to teach valuable methods to pursue ITD/TD projects. It takes place from 6 to 7 May 2019 at the University of Bern. > Application and more information
