Transdisciplinary Research
The challenges the ocean currently faces are all complex problems that don't fit into disciplinary boxes. They are better understood by engaging directly with societal stakeholders. While there is widespread enthusiasm to engage in this collaborative venture, there is a need to build capacity and common understanding in how to create co-designed solutions that could bring about the desired transformation in ocean management.
Transdisciplinary Field Guide
To facilitate academics, staff, and graduate students in navigating this transdisciplinary journey and to cultivate capacity, the Transdisciplinary Field Guide has been developed. Serving as a compendium of valuable resources, training opportunities, funding avenues, and toolkits, it also endeavours to foster a sense of community; a place where experiences, both good and bad, are shared through field stories and where peers can act as guides.
Co-design for the Ocean Decade
What is co-design, and why is it fundamental to ocean action for sustainable development? Where and how to start? What are the steps for bringing co-designed actions to life? With this online training course on co-design, the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030 (‘Ocean Decade’) aims to support the needs of its existing and future partners, guiding them towards successful execution of transformative ocean solutions.
