Transdisciplinary work does not require a uniform procedure – rather, it is a research style that embraces a variety of methods and through which various actors are involved in the different phases of a research process. In participatory and transdisciplinary research, the perspectives, experiences, learning processes as well as the (self-)empowerment of those who participate in it are fundamentally central. Relevant non-scientific and scientific actors, practice experts and civil society work together as heterogeneous knowledge carriers and process participants to investigate complex, real-world problems. Co-exploration, co-design and co-production of knowledge are therefore important stages of research.
