The keyword "Collaboration between Natural and Social Sciences" refers to questions relating the collaboration between the social and the natural sciences (including the humanities and engineering sciences). |
|
|
The keyword "Collaboration beyond Disciplines" deals with the problems involved in the collaboration between different scientific disciplines. |
|
|
The keyword "Complexity" deals with forms of complexity and ways of dealing with complexity in transdisciplinary projects. |
|
|
The keyword "Explaining and Understanding" refers to different approaches used to explain and understand human action and social processes to the extent that they are also important in transdisciplinary research. |
|
| The keyword "Incommensurability" deals with the problems surrounding the incommensurability of knowledge and values. Incommensurability stands for different forms of knowledge or values that can not be translated into one and another, compared or made to relate easily. | |
| The keyword „Moral Values and Norms“ refers to research on moral and normative aspects of target and transformation knowledge in transdisciplinary research. |
|
| The keyword "Mutual Learning" refers to processes of mutual knowledge and value exchange and learning between different disciplines and between research and practice. | |
| The keyword "Participation" stands for the participation of partners outside of academic institutions in a research process. This keyword covers also documents which deal with local knowledge. | |
| The keyword "Problem Orientation" refers to the focus in transdisciplinary research on concrete problems from the real world and the formulation of problem-solving strategies. | |
| The keyword "Process Character" refers to the paramount importance of learning and mediation processes in transdisciplinary projects. Process character also means that the different phases of a research project do not unfold in a linear sequence, instead they may be modified during the research process in an iterative and recursive manner based on the experience gained. | |
| The keyword "Reflexivity" refers to the importance of reflection on the implicit research assumptions and status of the persons involved in a project &endash; scientists and other participants and on the research in the project context. | |
| The keyword „Systems Knowledge, Target Knowledge and Transformation Knowledge“ refers to research addressing the analysis of complex processes and developments in nature, economy and society (systems knowledge) in relation to studies on related values and norms (target knowledge) and on possibilities of how to approach these aims (transformation knowledge). | |
| The keyword "Uncertainty" deals with forms of uncertainty and with ways of dealing with uncertainty and nescience in transdisciplinary projects. | |
|
The keyword "Valuation" refers to questions of the assessment and the valuation of alternative options of actions (including products and technologies). Due to the fact that transdisciplinary projects deal with real life problems and with problem solving strategies these projects are often confronted with questions of valuation and with a close intertwindness of knowledge and values. |
