Capacity building in the field of transdisciplinary research - td-net offers
The td-net complements existing offerings from established institutions of tertiary education, regardless of discipline, but often in collaboration with universities.
The aim of the td-net is for as many students and researchers in Switzerland as possible to acquire competences for this research approach and for professional process design. This should improve the quality of transdisciplinary research in the future and also transform teaching at universities. Below you find an overview of the offerts the td-net makes.
The td-net is also internationally networked and active in this area. (ITD Alliance, SHAPE-ID Toolkit and Gesellschaft für transdisziplinäre und partizipative Forschung (D))
Innovative co-produced open online course
Partnering for Change: Link Research to Societal Challenges
How can we address societal challenges with research? Investigate principles, processes, and applications of transdisciplinarity.
This MOOC offers an opportunity to explore how research can be connected to societal challenges and how partnerships can be developed to create positive change. The course is recommended for master's students, PhDs, postdocs, project leaders, and practitioners engaged in research cooperation. However, anyone interested or involved in finding solutions to complex societal challenges through transdisciplinary research can benefit from the course. The course is designed for self-study and can be used at any time without registration or enrollment.
