Toolkits for Transdisciplinarity

GAIA and the i2Insights blog

GAIA has a productive long-term partnership with the blog Integration and Implementation Insights (also known as i2Insights, https://i2insights.org).
i2Insights is a community weblog for researchers who are interested in sharing concepts and methods for understanding and acting on complex societal and environmental problems (problems like global climate change and inequality).
The blog is run by the Integration and Implementation Sciences (i2S, https://i2s.anu.edu.au) team, headed by Gabriele Bammer, member of GAIA’s Scientific Advisory Board, and Peter Deane, at The Australian National University.

If your GAIA paper is about a research integration or implementation concept or method, you may receive an invitation to contribute to the i2Insights blog and to further the reach of your work through a blog post. You should also feel free to contact the blog editors at: gabriele.bammer@anu.edu.au.

GAIA will make your paper free to access for a month after the blog post is published, unless the paper is already open access.

GAIA and the tdAcademy

GAIA has a long-term partnership with tdAcademy, which is a platform for transdisciplinary research and studies. The online hub www.td-academy.org is at the centre of the community project and invites transdisciplinary researchers to join the online community, create their personal profiles to connect with other researchers, share their projects to exchange experiences, and promote their capacity building events.

tdAcademy is a continuously evolving knowledge base for transdisciplinary research and research on transdisciplinarity. It serves as a platform for its global community to reflect on existing concepts and methods, discuss the latest insights, and develop new research topics. tdAcademy pursues three objectives: (1) Research: developing and consolidating state of the art insights within the transdisciplinary research community; (2) Enable: providing high quality capacity building opportunities for actors involved in transdisciplinary research processes; and (3) Connect: supporting and further developing the transdisciplinary research community by providing a space for exchange, reflection, collaboration, and new ideas.

Every year, GAIA selects the winners of the Masters Student Paper Award and the Best Paper Award.
