Keywords: Transdiscipline, Collaborative Research, Education, ResearchCreation, Training
The solution to complex problems is being explored, increasingly, from multi and/or interdisciplinary perspectives. However, those strategies are not enough in many cases and therefore developing a transdisciplinary approach becomes an essential tool. The traditional academic structure based on rigid disciplines has proven not to work well to face problems such as climate change or poverty, taking here only two among many multi-dimensional challenges we are facing. Can we really and effectively develop innovative useful ways to do research and apply our findings with a creative approach? This is an introduction to some experimental strategies used in transdisciplinary projects focusing on research-creation, aiming others could benefit and eventually emulate some of the experiences carried out.
