The aim of the upcoming conference is to discuss and exchange theoretical frameworks, interesting cases, developments and challenges in transition research and additionally explore how transition research can be useful for practice. The conference is designed as an interactive and small-scale event, especially serving the needs of PhDs and early career researchers.
  • The two-day conference will be shaped by interactive sessions on:
    • Presentations and discussion of the delegates’ work,
    • Theoretical and methodical inputs through workshops from senior scientists.
    • Workshops on the application of transition research in practice facilitated by practitioners.
Senior scientist will join the discussions on the delegates’ work and will provide theoretical, methodical and practical feedback in an open and constructive atmosphere. Key-note speakers will be: Bernhard Truffer, (Utrecht University & Eawag) Jochen Markard (ETH Zürich) and Claudia R. Binder (EPFL).
