Our society deals with many complex problems. To solve them, we must turn to transdisciplinary science. This means bringing together different disciplines and stakeholders to find innovative and effective solutions. By doing this, we can tackle big issues like inequality, climate change, and healthcare. Join our conference to learn more about how this type of research can create a better future for everyone.

Additionally, a whitepaper featuring six proposals for effective innovation will be presented during the event.
| Transdisciplinary science goes beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries, integrating diverse perspectives to tackle complex societal challenges. It emphasizes collaboration between researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders from various fields to co-create innovative solutions. This approach ensures that research outcomes are directly applicable in real-world contexts, fostering meaningful impact and sustainable change. |
Expect thought-provoking keynotes delving into the essence of transdisciplinary science and its pivotal role in fostering innovation across the Netherlands and Europe. Examine topics such as programming transdisciplinary research or its practical applications, within for example the Convergence alliance. Gain valuable insights into the triumphs and obstacles of transdisciplinary projects through engaging panel discussions featuring experts from NWO, TNO, KIN, and Convergence, followed by reflections from government representatives.
