International Transdisciplinarity Conference 2017

26. Juli 2017, von Tobias Wegener

The International Transdisciplinarity Conference (ITD) 2017 takes place from September 11^th to 15^th and is co-organized by Leuphana University Lüneburg (member of the KNU-coordinated HOCH^N project), Germany and the Network for Transdisciplinary Research of the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences. The overall objective of the conference is to strengthen communities of transdisciplinary research and education, and to create visibility for theoretical, empirical and transformative advances. The focus of the conference is on interculturality. Participants will explore transdisciplinary research and education as intercultural endeavours concerning epistemologies, world-views, practices, and place-based differences. With this emphasis, representatives of different world regions, institutions, cultures, and communities are brought together. Also, a space will be envisaged for taking a culturally sensitive look at transdiciplinarity. By doing so we will also explore interfaces and foster the potential of transdisciplinarity to deal with heterogeneity and difference.
