ABOUT TD-NET

td-net says goodbye and hello!

This month, we say goodbye to our long-time colleague Gabriela Wülser. Gabriela has been responsible for transdisciplinary competencies and methods for knowledge co-production in heterogeneous teams. She substantially contributed to building up our online toolbox. She now moved to the Swiss Academy of Sciences SCNAT to establish a new initiative on sustainability research. She is happy to have td-net on board as one of the new initiative's key collaboration partners. Gabriela holds a doctorate in philosophy of science and empirical science studies - on sustainability research - from ETH Zurich. We thank her very much for her good work and support, and look forward to further collaboration!

At the same time, we are happy to introduce Sibylle Studer, who has already taken over the lead of the project "Methods and tools for co-producing knowledge" from Gabriela. Sibylle studied Social Anthropology, Management&Economics and International Relations at the University of Zurich with field visits in Togo and Bolivia. After having completed her PhD in nonprofit management, she was involved in policy research for the Competence Center for Research in Energy, Society and Transition  (SCCER CREST) and worked in interdisciplinary teams at Interface Policy studies Research Consulting. She is conversant with different stakeholder- and disciplinary perspectives on methods and scientific standards and looks forward to supporting the research community in its attempt to make research more societally relevant. Welcome to the team!

International Transdisciplinarity Conference 2019

The conference is co-organised by td-net, > Mistra Urban Futures and the > University of Gothenburg and will take place in Gothenburg from 10 to 13 September 2019. The aim of this conference, Joining Forces for Change, is to bring together actors from different professional mandates, disciplines and sectors to engage and discuss on what we can learn from our collaborative  experiences, case studies and practices regarding wider societal transformation, methodological innovations and theoretical development. Our call for contributions was very successful, since we have received very diverse and high quality abstracts! Our selection will be communicated soon. Registration will also be available in the next few weeks on > www.transdisciplinarity.ch/itd2019.

NEWS FROM THE COMMUNITY

Learning through failure – Participate in the survey!

The survey Learning through Failure in Interdisciplinary and Transdisciplinary projects – developed by our colleagues Dena Fam and Michael O’Rourke – aims to gain insight into participants' experiences of failure in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary projects and how the reasons for project failure may differ from collaborative projects that do not cross disciplinary boundaries. It was piloted and refined over the last few weeks to ensure it is relevant to your work as well as easy to respond to, and should not take you more than 6-10 minutes of your time. On the basis of you participating in this survey, this will be considered as informed consent, and that you agree with the purpose of the survey and how the data will be collected and used (> see detailed information on the survey). This project and ethics application was approved by the Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology Sydney. Please contact > Dena Fam for further information. Deadline: 10 July 2019

About the new project SHAPE-ID

SHAPE-ID Partners at the Kick-off Meeting, February 2019

SHAPE-ID is an EU-funded project addressing the challenge of improving inter- and transdisciplinary cooperation between the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) and STEM and other disciplines. The project will examine best and poor practices in AHSS integration through a survey, extensive literature review and six learning case workshops with stakeholders, ultimately delivering a toolkit and recommendations to help policy makers, funders, universities and researchers achieve and better support impactful inter- and transdisciplinary research with meaningful AHSS integration.
Coordinator: Trinity College Dublin
Partners: ISINNOVA, ETH Zurich, the University of Edinburgh, IBL PAN and Jack Spaapen.

Seed Grants for participatory research

The Participatory Science Academy (Partizipative Wissenschaftsakademie, PWA) seeks to foster the collaboration between scientists and citizens. To this end, the PWA awards Seed Grants for the development and/or implementation of participatory citizen science projects. Teams of academic researchers from UZH and/or ETHZ and citizens are given the opportunity to jointly develop and/or carry out a participatory research project. Priority is given to projects which, in addition to the prospect of excellent research, show a high degree of participation. Next deadline:
3 June 2019
