  Corentin Fivet. Followed by an Apero.\nPlace: SG 1\nZoom link \n\n\nTit
 le:\nLandscapes\, green spaces and renewable energies – Views on transdi
 sciplinarity\n\n\nAbstract\nTackling societal problems increasingly requir
 es transdisciplinary approaches. Understandings and definitions of transdi
 sciplinarity are quite different\, but have in common that they are integr
 ative research approaches that also involve non-scientific and especially 
 societal actors\, that research concerns are defined jointly and that scie
 ntific knowledge is linked with practical knowledge. The results are also 
 not always reproducible in the classical sense\, but can also be about est
 ablishing new governance structures and networks and accompanying them sci
 entifically. Against this background\, examples from landscape development
 \, the establishment and management of near-natural green spaces in urban 
 areas and the expansion of renewable energies will be used to present and 
 question exemplary transdisciplinary approaches.\n \n\nAbout the speaker\
