  • Creating favorable conditions for inter- and transdisciplinary integration – An analytical framework and empirical insights

    Open AccessLisa Deutsch, Christian Pohl et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2025Citada por: 2Referencias: 19

    ITD integration is key for addressing complex global social-ecological challenges. • Making ITD integration happen depends on the interplay between structure and agency. • The study bridges conceptual and empirical insights from three Swiss case studies. • It is essential to create more favorable conditions for ITD integration in the future. • Several actors can make a difference by taking actions on different structural levels. Complex global so…

  • Assessment of transdisciplinarity by its participants

    Open AccessMa Helena Guimarães, Gonçalo Jacinto et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2024Referencias: 12

    Evaluation plays a pivotal role in transdisciplinary (TD) research, often discussed during funding stages or when assessing project impacts. A few studies delve into the participant perspective when examining the quality of transdisciplinarity. Our work contributes to this area of assessment. Rather than providing a definitive definition of transdisciplinarity, we developed a questionnaire to evaluate a set of TD principles within a specific TD i…

    Open AccessMesfin Sahle, Shruti Ashish Lahoti et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2024Citada por: 7Referencias: 22

    Identifying research gaps and priorities is paramount to advance sustainability science and contribute to a sustainable future. This editorial contributes to this effort by contemplating the sustainability science research agenda and aligning it with recent changes in global dynamics. Drawing on consultations with the editorial board members of the Sustainability Science journal and a review of relevant literature, we identified 12 key research t…

  • Exploring Interdisciplinarity and Transdisciplinarity as Knowledge Regimes

    Open AccessBianca Vienni Baptista, Christian Erik Pohl et al.ARTICLEScience Technology & Human Values2024Referencias: 58

    This paper presents a heuristic tool aiming at bringing the multiple dimensions of interdisciplinarity (ID) and transdisciplinarity (TD) into direct conversation for researchers, funders, and policymakers. These societal actors have divergent conceptions, definitions, and practices of ID and TD that can be fruitfully put into dialogue to prosecute successful projects and programs. We anchor our study on the concept of "knowledge regime" and its t…

  • Health care provided to recent asylum-seeking and non-asylum-seeking pediatric patients in 2016 and 2017 at a Swiss tertiary hospital - a retrospective study

    Open AccessJulia Brandenberger, Christian Pohl et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Hospital visits by asylum-seeking children represented a small proportion of all visits. The emergency department had the highest number of visits in all patients but was less frequently used by asylum-seeking children. Frequent care suggests that asylum-seeking patients also present with more complex diseases. Further studies are needed, focusing on asylum-seeking children with medical complexity

  • On which common ground to build? Transferable knowledge across cases in transdisciplinary sustainability research

    Open AccessGabriela Wuelser, Carolyn Adler et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2021Citada por: 2Referencias: 14

    To support societal problem solving, transdisciplinary research (TDR) uses knowledge co-production focusing on relevance and validity in a studied case and its particular social-ecological context. In the first instance, the resulting situated knowledge seems to be restricted to these single cases. However, if some of the knowledge generated in TDR could be used in other research projects, this would imply that there is a body of knowledge repres…

  • Conceptualising transdisciplinary integration as a multidimensional interactive process

    Open AccessChristian Pohl, Julie Thompson Klein et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2021Citada por: 35Referencias: 21

    Integration is a key process in transdisciplinary research and knowledge co-production. Nonetheless, it is often used as a buzzword without specifying what exactly it means or what actually happens during integration. We propose conceptualizing integration as a multidimensional interactive process. We characterize it as an open-ended learning process without pre-determined outcomes. Integration designates relations established throughout a transd…

  • Expertise in research integration and implementation for tackling complex problems

    Open AccessGabriele Bammer, Michael O’rourke et al.ARTICLEPalgrave Communications2020

    Expertise in research integration and implementation is an essential but often overlooked component of tackling complex societal and environmental problems. We focus on expertise relevant to any complex problem, especially contributory expertise, divided into ‘knowing-that’ and ‘knowing-how.’ We also deal with interactional expertise and the fact that much expertise is tacit. We explore three questions. First, in examining ‘when is expertise in r…

  • Asylum-Seeking Children with Medical Complexity and Rare Diseases in a Tertiary Hospital in Switzerland

    Open AccessS Buser, Julia Brandenberger et al.ARTICLEJournal of Immigrant and Minority…2020

    The aim of this study was to assess the characteristics of asylum-seeking children with medical complexity visiting a tertiary care hospital in Switzerland, detailing their underlying medical conditions and management. Asylum-seeking patients with frequent visits between January 2016 and December 2017 were identified using administrative and electronic health records. Of 462 patients, 19 (4%) fulfilled the inclusion criteria with 811 (45%) visits…

  • Integrating systems and design thinking in transdisciplinary case studies

    Open AccessChristian Pohl, Barb Pearce et al.ARTICLEGAIA - Ecological Perspectives…2020

    In the new Bachelor-level course Umweltproblemlösen (Tackling environmental problems) , a part of ETH Zurich’s Environmental Sciences Bachelor’s programme, we teach students to zoom in on elements of practice (design thinking) and to zoom out on the whole system (systems thinking). Participants take stakeholders’ interests and needs into account and prepare possible measures, thus developing transformation knowledge and anticipating their future …

  • Who is doing inter- and transdisciplinary research, and why? An empirical study of motivations, attitudes, skills, and behaviours

    Open AccessMa Helena Guimarães, Christian Pohl et al.ARTICLEFutures2019Citada por: 23Referencias: 25

    We witness a persistent tension between established ways of knowledge production through disciplines, and the urgent need to widen and change, both the production of knowledge and its organization, not least, in order to be able to understand and address the future and its challenges. Witnessing a growing call for inter- and transdisciplinarity (ITD), we set our goal to learn more about scholars who engage in this kind of research by asking these…

  • Ten Reflective Steps for Rendering Research Societally Relevant

    Christian Pohl, Pius Krütli et al.ARTICLEGAIA - Ecological Perspectives…2017

    While the goal of transdisciplinary research is to be relevant to society, specific instructions for accomplishing this remain implicit. We propose to improve this situation by means of a 10-step approach aimed at stimulating explicit reflections around ways to render research more societally relevant.Today, there is an increasing need for researchers to demonstrate the practical value their research can generate for society. Over the past decade…

  • Conceptualizing the transfer of knowledge across cases in transdisciplinary research

    Open AccessCarolyn Adler, Gertrude Hirsch Hadorn et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2017Citada por: 14Referencias: 14

    Transdisciplinary (TD) research is increasingly suggested as a means of tackling wicked problems by providing knowledge on solutions that serve as pathways towards sustainable development. In contrast to research striving for generalizable findings, TD research produces insights for a particular case and context. TD researchers, who build on other TD projects’ results, need to know under what conditions knowledge gained from their case can be tra…

  • How researchers frame scientific contributions to sustainable development

    Open AccessGabriela Wuelser, Christian PohlARTICLESustainability Science2016Citada por: 6Referencias: 12

    Given that research on sustainable development usually relates to real-world challenges, it requires researchers to align scientific knowledge production with concrete societal problem situations. To empirically explore how researchers frame scientific contributions when designing and planning projects, we conducted a qualitative study on land use-related projects based on the methodology of grounded theory. We identified major influence factors …
