In the sixth blog of the Expert Blog series, Dr. Hester du Plessis uncovers the innovative strides made by the University of Pretoria in South Africa, where transdisciplinary (TD) research has become a cornerstone of their strategy. Dr. Hester explores the transformative potential of TD, the importance of open dialogue, and the development of a global community of transdisciplinarians.

Drawing on the insights of the Looking at the Future of Transdisciplinary Research, Christian Pohl shares his own perspective as a member of the vibrant 'transdisciplinarian' community. Prof. Pohl emphasizes the invaluable role of this community in tackling sustainability challenges through knowledge co-production.

In his blog, Roderick Lawrence calls for cultivating transdisciplinary endeavors, fostering inclusive collaboration, acknowledging positional influences, and repositioning science within a broader societal framework. With these considerations, transdisciplinarity has the potential to reshape research, policies, and professional practices, delivering lasting solutions in our intricate world.
