On May 12, our group member Anne-Sophie Schaltegger defended her PhD thesis titled “A social and cultural perspective on interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research assessment: Learning from three Swiss funding schemes”.
Congratulations to Bianca Vienni Baptista, Group Leader at the CSTS group and Victoria Herbig, former Scientific Assistant and Master’s student in the CSTS lab on their latest publication! Their collaboration has led to a compelling new article titled: "Learning by Doing; Methodological Implications in Studying Interdisciplinary and Transdisciplinary Research Practices.”
The gap between research and practice persists across most disciplines, even though co‑productionist, participatory, and implementation approaches routinely call for bridging it. But what if the problem isn’t the bridge at all, but the distance it presumes? This blog by Nathalie Dupin rethinks practice‑based research as a form of embedded transdisciplinarity, where collaboration becomes part of daily organisational life rather than an activity that must be engineered across boundaries.
