Enabling transdisciplinary research
The final chapter of the report «Priority Themes for Swiss Sustainability Research» proposes ways for creating an enabling environment for transdisciplinary sustainability research. The proposals include: a) developing incentive systems that encourage researchers to get involved in such research and increase recognition for teamwork; b) strengthening science – policy dialogue; c) building partnerships with non-academic stakeholders; d) introducing training programmes to develop the skills needed for sustainability research; e) setting up novel institutional structures to foster collaboration across organizational boundaries; and f) strengthening funding opportunities and further developing evaluation procedures for transdisciplinary sustainability research.
