We thank University of Applied Arts Vienna and UniNEtZ for hosting the Td Summer School 2022 and all participants and trainers for collaborating to advance our understanding on transdsiciplinary research, higher education and institutional transofrmations!
After a pandemic break, the Td Summer School is back! The Td Summer School 2022 has been conducted between September 4-9 in Vienna, Austria. It offered a 5-day intensive training on transdisciplinary research that prepares researchers, educators, science managers, funders and research-oriented activists, artists, and representatives of the economic and administrative sector for transdisciplinary research on societal challenges. Participants gained input on theoretical and methodological foundations as well as experience in designing and implementing transdisciplinary research processes, educational programs or institutional environments to foster transdisciplinarity within universities. The Td Summer School departs from experiences and needs of participants and aims at broadening professional perspectives and practices towards transdisciplinary approaches.

Td training module
During the Td Training Module (September 5-9, 2022) we provide insights into historical, political and theoretical foundations of transdisciplinary research that have emerged in different communities and world regions and create a space to gain practical experiences in designing transdisciplinary research processes. We will explore different methodologies and frameworks, principles and methods for transdisciplinary research. With a focus on enabling transdisciplinarity at universities, we will also provide insights into transdisciplinary research in higher education and institutional conditions that are in favor of transdisciplinarity. During two days, we will elaborate transdisciplinary case study designs in small groups. The case study designs will be developed in 20 steps that will guide you from the framing of a research field, educational demand or institutional environment to the development of implementation strategies of results for a particular case.
It is our overall objective to create strong links to your fields of activities. Therefore, we will jointly select the cases based on suggestions from the participants. A case could be a problem field that your current research or professional activity is related to, and which you want to further develop towards a transdisciplinary approach. Alternatively, it could be an issue that you are planning to work on in the future. By jointly developing the transdisciplinary case study design, you will have the chance to apply principles, design elements and methods that will be introduced during the first days of the Td Training Module. Working together in groups with different professional backgrounds will allow you to experience the different perspectives and to discuss diverse roles, tasks and responsibilities of involved persons.
