Investment in transdisciplinary research and training for future generations of African scientists is crucial to advancing sustainable development in African cities
The report ‘Advancing the 2030 Agenda in African cities through knowledge co-production’, sheds light on what it takes to co-produce urban knowledge through transdisciplinary (TD) research across different scientific disciplines and with societal actors.
It has been drafted by a team of early-career African scientists funded through the Leading Integrated Research for Agenda 2030 in Africa programme (LIRA2030), which is run by the ISC together with the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC) and with the financial support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).

Story Completion exercices: An idea worth borrowing?
Story Completion is a qualitative research method. First developed by psychologists, it was subsequently re-conceptualised as a valuable method of accessing and investigating social discourses. Story completion is a useful tool for accessing meaning-making around a particular topic of interest. It is particularly useful for exploring (dominant) assumptions about a topic. This type of research can be framed as exploring either perceptions and understandings or social/discursive constructions of a topic. Story Completion could be useful for monitoring and evaluation purposes. They are a good way of identifying different stakeholders views oft he possible consequences of an intervention.

Transdisciplinary Sustainability Research – Linking research processes and outputs to societal effects
Transdisciplinary research – for instance within sustainability research – can provide targeted support for the solution of complex societal problems. This is possible as transdisciplinary research includes knowledge gained from experience and from everyday life and thus expands the cognitive process incorporating this specific yet not scientific information.
Now the question arises which is the best way for transdisciplinary research to advance its societal effects? A newly published special issue of the journal ‘Environmental Science & Policy’ is dealing with the topic in general and particularly addresses this question.

Lessons for improving interdisciplinary collaborations
What lessons for improving interdisciplinary collaborations emerged from the 2019 Science of Team Science conference are described by Julie Thompson Klein and Ben Miller in their blog post. They include: Partnering with communities from the beginning is crucial for creating agreement on goals, outcomes, & rewards, in the process building trust while identifying touch points tailoring messages sensitive to cultural differences, and Structured decision-making encourages value-focused thinking for finding solutions and maximizing objectives, while decomposing a problem into manageable chunks and fostering transparency in decision-making.

Project on formative evaluation, roles and science-society-interaction finally implemented
The project “Normativity, Objectivity and Quality Assurance of Transdisciplinary Processes” (NorQuATrans) in Hamburg, Germany has now completed its team. Hermann Held (University of Hamburg) and Susanne Schuck-Zöller (GERICS) are the PIs of the project, the staff consists of Markus Dressel (philosopher) and Mirko Suhari (sociologist). Over the next two and a half years, they will study both theoretical and applied aspects of transdisciplinarity. On the applied side, it is planned to develop concepts for a formative evaluation of transdisciplinary processes. The aim is to assess the quality of these processes while they are still carried out. On the theoretical side, the entanglement of the roles that different stakeholders may play in transdisciplinary research will be analyzed with normative background assumptions about science and society. The approach includes empirical case studies, mostly in the relatively new area of climate service science, and a more general theoretical analysis. Both perspectives, the theoretical and the empirical one, will be closely linked. The project is part of the Helmholtz Institute for Climate Service Science (HICSS), in which scientists from the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS) and the University of Hamburg cooperate. GERICS is a scientific organizational entity of Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht (HZG). HICSS promotes scientific exchange between both partners and pools common competencies in natural, social and economic sciences in the field of Climate Service Science.

Forced hostile collaborations
And how to avoid them by identifying an acceptable alternative is described by Kristine Lund in this blogpost. Key points are 1) figure out the motivations and constraints of those forcing the collaboration, 2) play to your strengths and find an alternative research niche where the hostile partner is not a major player, 3) find an equally good or better partner in the alternative research niche, 4) keep lines of communication open with those forcing the collaboration, 5) use the new partner to attract new powerful supporters.

New guidelines to conflict sensitive research
Doing research in conflict contexts is crucial. But how do you best conduct research in conflict-affected contexts? These guidelines are designed for all levels of researchers – from research student to professor – who conduct research in settings that are conflict-affected.
Adopting a conflict sensitive approach to research helps to understand the interaction of research with multiple layers of overt or latent conflicts. The interaction of research and conflict context effects what is being researched, how research is carried out, and the knowledge that is thus produced.

SHAPE-ID Preliminary Results of Literature Review Now Available
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 other Sciences, particularly Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and Medicine (STEMM) disciplines.
One of SHAPE-ID’s first objectives is to identify, through an evidence-scanning exercise drawing on existing work, the different understandings and factors that help or hinder interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research (IDR and TDR) within and between AHSS and STEMM. To do this, our team is currently undertaking an extensive systematic literature review. This work is currently in progress and will conclude in March 2020.
The preliminary findings of the literature review to date are discussed in our latest blog post and the report can be here.

7 motivations for becoming transdisciplinary
They are a desire to 1) improve society, 2) act on real-world problems, 3) make a difference, 4) bring together theory & practice, 5) move beyond disciplines, 6) be transgressive & take risks, 7) connect across many research interests & fields. Transdisciplinary career paths are affected by: 1) need for disciplinary excellence, 2) lack of effective supervision & mentorship, 3) lack of recognition 4) lack of opportunities to progress. Does transdisciplinarity need a new discipline or other formalisation? Or would this threaten the inherent openness of transdisciplinarity to other disciplines?
