Co-producing New Knowledge

Intro

Co-producing New Knowledge explores the second phase of transdisciplinary research: jointly conducted research. This includes an investigation of co-production processes and methods as well as the three types of knowledge and effective management of diverse teams.

What You'll Learn

• Co-production processes and methods

• The three types of knowledge

• The effective management of diverse teams

This course consists of the following three modules:

1. Co-production Processes

2. Co-production Methods

3. Knowledge Integration

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

✓ Explain co-production processes

✓ Describe co-production methods

✓ Explain the concept of the three types of knowledge

✓ Reflect on effective management of diverse teams

Who It's For

These online courses are aimed at university professionals, including faculty and staff, who are interested in engaging with inter- or transdisciplinary research concepts. The courses serve to support academics and researchers in becoming transdisciplinary research role models and mentors in their institutions.

Get Prepared

The programme includes practical, interactive worksheets. To engage with the course fully, we recommend you use a laptop.

Programme

Foundations of Inter- and Transdisciplinary Research is a four-course programme that supports academics conducting research on complex societal and environmental problems.

Foundations of Inter- and Transdisciplinary Research is organised into four courses. The first course provides a high-level introduction to transdisciplinary research. The second, third, and fourth courses each explore a key phase of the transdisciplinary research process.

These four courses guide researchers through the transdisciplinary research process from research co-design to the co-production of new knowledge to co-implementation. All of the courses are simple and direct, so they can be applied immediately.

Foundations of Inter- and Transdisciplinary Research includes the following online courses:
