Transdisciplinary Approaches: The Science of Team Science
December 6, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Working on teams employing transdisciplinary approaches presents many challenges.
In the second webinar in the Transdisciplinary Approaches series, speakers will share information about the keys to the success of complex teams and highlight the role of team function in large-scale projects.
About the Transdisciplinary Approaches Webinar Series
Presented by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the National Agricultural Library
Join us for a new webinar series highlighting opportunities and challenges of transdisciplinary approaches within agricultural research. Many of the problems facing agriculture are multifaceted, and traditional disciplinary boundaries may limit our ability to address them. Additionally, agricultural research has broad implications, affecting economics, social dynamics, and the environment. Transdisciplinary approaches is a critical tool for tackling agronomic issues. It can address complex challenges that single-disciplinary approaches are not able to solve, increase the likelihood of new practice adoption, and avoid potential unintended consequences of more narrowly investigated findings.
The increased need for large-scale solutions to complex agricultural problems has led to new, large-scale funding opportunities that require applicants to develop transdisciplinary research proposals that tackle program priorities in new ways. However, because of the novel nature of transdisciplinary approaches and challenges associated with transdisciplinary research, adoption of these practices and teams is limited.
This webinar series is targeted at researchers to better understand strategies for implementing transdisciplinary approaches, team building, and overcoming challenges, and university administrators to better support novel transdisciplinary teams and their research.
