In the face of increasingly complex problems of global change, science is challenged with the production of transdisciplinary knowledge that is relevant to advancing sustainable development. Therefore, in recent years, scholars have developed concepts, principles, and methods of transdisciplinary research. However, there is still rather limited knowledge on how to tailor these principles and methods to specific research and policy contexts in order to effectively enhance sustainability transformations.
To support researchers and other societal actors in devising appropriate transdisciplinary research designs that match a project’s sustainability goals and context conditions, we developed six guiding questions. The guiding questions have been developed through the study of stakeholder engagement practices in the context of the 16 projects of the Swiss National Research Programme on “Sustainable water management” (NRP 61).
In this talk, I will present the developed guiding questions and illustrate their application on the example of different transdisciplinary research projects.
