701-1503-00LThe Transdisciplinarity Lab (TdLab) Winter School 'Science Meets Practice4 KP9AB. B. Pearce, P. Fry, C. E. Pohl, M. Stauffacher
KurzbeschreibungThere is an increasing need for scientists to understand and engage with people and institutions outside the scientific community. The TdLab Winter School is aimed at helping PhD students and Postdocs from a wide range of disciplines and institutional backgrounds to uncover the societal relevance of their own science projects and to define and clarify the societal relevance of science, in general.
Lernziel1. Participants acquire knowledge, tools and hands-on experience to work with stakeholders to frame a complex, real- world problem.
2. Participants will gain practical skills to work in groups effectively across disciplinary and cultural boundaries.
3. Participants learn to reflect on their role as scientists in society.
InhaltThe TdLab Winter School provides a conceptual and methodological foundation on the challenges of knowledge exchange and dialogue between science and practice. The course will provide space and methods for the participants to reflect on their own approach to science and how it could be utilized effectively for problem solving in the real world. Participants take the concepts and methods into the real world and test them through individual and small-group interactions with stakeholders. Participants will learn to identify and become perceptive of diverse world-views, expectations and needs of stakeholders. To this end, they will be expected to organize workshops and events within the community. Together, participants and stakeholders work towards framing complex problems and possible solutions. This year, the topic (which has been identified by the community itself as being important) is community amalgamation and spatial planning in Swiss villages. No prior experience or knowledge of the topic is required for participation.

The TdLab Winter School will take place in Propstei Wislikofen on 14-17 and 20-23 January 2020. Accommodation is provided.
