On 20-21 November, a short course on building competencies for transdisciplinary collaboration will be held at the University of Tartu Library. The course for young researchers will be led by Jonas Torrens from Utrecht University. If you are interested in participating, please fill in the registration form no later than 4 November.
Realising transdisciplinary collaborations requires unusual competencies that are absent in most researchers’ education. In this course, we will introduce and start developing the core competencies for transdisciplinary collaborations across all phases, from the initial encounters with distinctive perspectives to forging durable engagements with societal stakeholders towards the framing and executing of transdisciplinary collaboration and efforts to integrate diverse knowledge. This course will focus on how transdisciplinary collaboration can move beyond joint problem-solving, highlighting the possibilities for more profound impacts. The course is designed to support early-career researchers (doctoral students, postdoctoral students) who strive to work beyond disciplinary boundaries and engage societal stakeholders.
The course is highly experiential and playful. We will combine a minimalistic set of instructions with multiple hands-on activities that allow participants to experiment with different ways of approaching transdisciplinary research. The exercises will build and expand on the participants' experience, providing opportunities to re-assess ingrained ideas about what counts as reliable and socially robust knowledge and to develop a more nuanced understanding of what kinds of processes and competencies are conducive to transdisciplinarity.
Schedule of the course
20 November, 15:00–17:00
- Introduction: exploring our current positioning and knowledge action needs. Who is present in the room, and how do they usually approach knowledge production?
- Surfacing and reflecting on our (inherited) assumptions about knowledge production. What stories have we heard about what counts as good research? How do the practices we have learned about engage societal actors and their knowledge?
- Unknown mappings: how do we currently engage with uncertainty, ambiguity, and unknowability in our research & impact practices?
- Comparing notions of multi-inter-trans disciplinarity, participatory research, and co-production.
- Frictions between theory and practice
21 November, 10:30–12:30
- Unpacking the phases, benefits, and challenges of transdisciplinary collaboration
- Exploring co-productive agility: roleplaying
- Typical Roles, dynamics & frictions in transdisciplinary collaborations
- Ethical, Reflexivity & Process related competencies
12:30–13:15 Lunch
13:15–17:00
- Infrastructuring and scaffolding transdisciplinary collaboration
- Group work: collectively making sense of their specific context for transdisciplinary collaborations, identifying exemplars, support needs, and untapped potential.
- Group work: an exemplar of a method for co-creating an agenda for learning and co-developing actions
Note! Those registering should be able to stay for both days!
