OutPut

- Each participant has read a core set of readings and listened to lectures about transdisciplinary research, and critically discussed them

-  Each participant has produced a two-day curriculum (objectives; activities; readings; PPTs) built from the TTT curriculum, adapted to the specific needs of their institute

-  TTT trainers receive feedback (both during the workshop and following the Trainers own training) on how to iterate the TTT workshop

Approach and methods for the TTT

The general approach towards the TTT workshop includes:

- Input from TTTs, and active participation and input from the participating Trainers in developing the transdisciplinary curriculums to be taught in the KNOTS network universities

- “Critical friends” as a means of providing feedback to each other

The TTT workshop method will be a combination of the following approaches.

- Short lectures

- Individual reading (followed by discussion)

- Individual work on curriculum preparation

- Seminar discussion

- Small group discussion

- Trainer practical (and feedback)

- The workshop also covered the three themes of KNOTS: environment; migration; and social inequality.
