| Inhalt | Interdisciplinarity is mandatory to successfully and scientifically understand and tackle complex real-world problems, such as sustainability challenges. However, what is meant by interdisciplinarity, and how and by which methods interdisciplinary research is conducted, is a major issue by itself. In a first part, the core lecture will introduce different forms, methods and challenges of interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity, with a focus on questions of interdisciplinary research in sustainability sciences. In a second and third part, we will discuss established and most important tools of interdisciplinary research in sustainability sciences: system analysis and sustainability assessment. Finally, we will round out the lecture by a critical reflection upon contributions of science to the transformation towards sustainable development. The lecture requires active participation. |
