Learning through failure in inter- and transdisciplinary projects
Two TD colleagues are editing a book on failure in inter- and transdisciplinary projects. They have created a survey that is designed to gain insight into experiences of failure in inter- and transdisciplinary projects and how reasons for failure in these projects may differ from collaborative projects that do not cross disciplinary boundaries. The survey closes September 5. > Complete the survey
