Date: 6 September 2017

The purpose of the workshop is to bring together actors with different experiences on inter- and transdisciplinary work, and to reflect on the learning processes they have gone through. The question that will guide the discussion is: "How was the dialogue among the actors achieved during the inter- or transdisciplinary initiative and how did they elaborate and carry out the proposal?" Different institutions from Tacuarembó are being invited to present their experiences and to build stronger links with the Centro Universitario, which is currently building its inter-institutional campus.

Transdisciplinary and Intercultural research: insights from the Our Land & Water National Science Challenge and the Primary Innovation programme

Date: 13 September 2017

With an intercultural perspective, this Co-conference provides some visions of transdisciplinary collaboration and co-innovation projects. This event will also analyze different practices that reveal the essential gestures of collaboration through emergence, and propagates intercultural capacity. An example of this approach is Robson’s presentation, "Road testing the Integration and Implementation Science framework for delivering more fit for purpose science for policy".
