What is the motivation of the Summer School?
This summer school will bridge the gap between disciplinary PhD-programs and
transdisciplinary (TD) research practice by introducing new TD approaches such
as Real World Laboratories and TD methods such as .boundary objects or
stakeholder dialogues.
Special attention will be given to knowledge integration as this is one of the
major cognitive challenges in TD research.
Building a strong network and exchanging experiences between you, as young
scientists, and leading international senior researchers will be the main focus
in lectures, workshops and open spaces.
What is your benefit?
• You will receive a profound overview and practical training by
international scientists on state-of-the-art TD methods
• You will enhance your skills in designing, conducting and evaluating
TD research projects
• You will be able to reflect your own experiences in inter- and
transdisciplinary projects against the other participants’ and senior
scientists’ backgrounds
• You will gain practical experience via hands-on sessions
• You will experience the multi-faceted landscape of the Nidda region
in an excursion with practitioners of the
NiddaMan<https://www.isoe.de/en/projects/current-projects/wasserressourcen-und-landnutzung/niddaman/>
research project.
Who should apply?
• You are a graduate master student, PhD candidate or early Post-Doc in
the field of sustainability sciences?
• You are interested in TD?
• You have first experiences in inter-or transdisciplinary research?
• You are keen on enhancing your TD method skills by actively engaging
in discussions and by learning in a reflexive process?
If so, apply and join us for Brilliant Minds 2018 Summer School!
