Organized by International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) 

More than ever, the world wicked problems including climate change, global inequalities, and the 2030 sustainable development goals, require experts to work together effectively across disciplines, geopolitical borders, and silos. 


What are transdisciplinary skill sets, and how do we foster them in our research community? How do we provide researchers with the right links and opportunities?  How can we enable and empower the next generation of researchers to work across disciplines?  
 
This panel will bring together experts working across sectors towards transdisciplinary research. They will discuss experiences, challenges and propose solutions to support transdisciplinary research within academia.
