Two decades of transdisciplinarity in Switzerland: Past, present, future
Paulsen, T, Küffer, C (2023)
Switzerland has been a stronghold of transdisciplinarity in the past decades, thanks in particular to saguf and td-net. td-net’s 20 years anniversary is an opportunity to recall the past and look ahead.
The Network for Transdisciplinary Research (td-net) of the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences celebrated its 20th anniversary on 24 August, 2023 at the National theatre in Bern (National Bern). We take this opportunity to review the history of inter- and transdisciplinarity (ITD) in the past 20 years in Switzerland and, inspired by the discussions at the anniversary symposium, we look ahead: what is the current state of ITD and what are new challenges and opportunities?

A growing number of inter- and transdisciplinary (ITD) toolkits provide methods, processes, concepts, heuristics, frameworks, and other resources for designing and implementing ITD research. A brief overview of the currently fragmented toolkits landscape is provided, fleshed out through descriptions of four toolkits.
