Abstract

The International Transdisciplinarity Conference in Zurich was a defining event in the evolution of a new discourse of transdisciplinary problem solving. The new discourse is linked historically with a new climate for participatory research on sustainability problems, changes in the nature of disciplinary research, and the emergence of new knowledge fields. The state-of-the-art represented by the conference is a truly global platform for future research and collaborative problem solving.KeywordsTransdisciplinary ResearchSustainability ProblemExpand GlobalTransdisciplinary ApproachKnowledge FieldThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
