MK 123 EN | Transdisciplinary research for Sustainability (online):
Even though the importance of sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals are increasingly acknowledged and accepted throughout society, we still need to identify tangible ways it can be implemented in practice. The course provides a general introduction to the theory and methodologies of sustainability research and it will show how transdisciplinary approaches can deliver better solutions in practice. The course is structured in three main parts: I) origins of sustainable development and the core idea of sustainable research. Using international and regional cases to provide active student participation and critical reflection II) Introduction to inter- and transdisciplinary research and collaboration. Students will look at the process of transdisciplinary collaboration and investigate the use of specific tools and methodologies which can apply to various sectors III) Social science methods are important in transdisciplinary projects. Students explore how empirical methods are used to achieve solutions in the field of sustainable development.
