Lessons learnt for leading transdisciplinary centres and programs

Join us for this ITD Alliance Oceania Regional Network Webinar and open discussion ("Talanoa")! Gain insights on leading transdisciplinary centres and programs and meet new colleagues from across the Oceania region.

Leading transdisciplinary centres and programs comes with a range of challenges, including supporting researchers and students to navigate across, between and beyond disciplines, building relationships and engagement methods with a range of stakeholders, collaborators and decision makers, and embracing knowledges and knowledge systems that are diverse, and sometimes divergent. Peat Leith, outgoing Director of the Valuing Sustainability Future Science Platform at CSIRO, and Lorrae van Kerkhoff, Director of the ANU Institute for Water Futures, at The Australian National University, will each share 5 lessons from their experience, in brief scene-setting presentations. They will then engage in a dialogue, which will be broadened out to include the audience. Download the flyer for details and speaker biographies.

Moderation will be by Giedre Kligyte of the Transdisciplinary School at the University of Technology Sydney. This hour-long webinar will be followed by a 30-minute open discussion – a Talanoa – where you can connect with others across Oceania who are passionate about inter- and transdisciplinarity. A recording of the webinar will be available from the ITD Alliance Oceania Regional Network web page after the event.
