Highlights

The PhD students at NG organize a course on transdisciplinary research for sustainability partly by financial support of climate research school. The overarching aim of the course is to learn about place-based transdisciplinary research for sustainability. The learning components will include:

1) Ten seminars (two hours per session) at SU or connected online (running from March to May): as an introduction to transdisciplinary research, as well as to explore how to design, plan, and carry out a transdisciplinary research project. The course structure will be closely integrated with the parallel discussion and development of a transdisciplinary research project, to be carried out in the local context of Navarino Environmental Observatory (NEO), in Southwestern Messinia (Costa Navarino), engaging the community and researchers in the area.

2) Eight fulltime work days of practical fieldwork at Navarino Environmental Observatory (NEO), in Southwestern Messinia (Costa Navarino) (October 2018). This will allow the participants to apply the theoretical knowledge and train research skills in a real-world context. The local community in SW Messinia is central to the development and execution of the course, since NEO can provide an active platform for common discussions between the researchers and actors in the region.
