Marine transdisciplinarity: Co-evaluating the status quo and co-designing the way forward
The aim of the scientific conference is to present and reflect on the transdisciplinary research activities, theories and results in marine research. A special focus will be placed on the three research missions of the German Marine Research Alliance (DAM). An overview of the methods that have been and are being used will be compiled; a common understanding of terms will be developed; the research approaches and results to date will be discussed and co-evaluated together with stakeholders. The conference aims to promote the mutual exchange of experience and insights (learning from each other), develop ideas for improving research approaches (planning together) and increase the effectiveness of transdisciplinary approaches in terms of a transformation towards sustainability (creating impact together).
WHEN: | 4th and 5th Feb. 2026, from noon to noon. | |
WHERE: | Marine Science Campus / Kiel University | |
WHO: | Scientists from the three DAM research missions who are involved in transdisciplinary activities, marine transdisciplinary scientists and stakeholders (actors in the coastal region, from the projects of the DAM research missions). Please forward this invitation to all project members and further interested people. | |
CALL FOR SESSIONS: | We warmly invite you to contribute to the conference by suggesting a topic for a session or a workshop (e.g. methods, concepts, formats or experiences in co-creation/ co-evaluation). A session/workshop will be around 90 min. Please send your ideas (title and short description, deadline 5 Oct) to Dr. Henrike Mütze hmuetze@uv.uni-kiel.de |
Based on your suggestions, a detailed program and the call for abstracts will be published in mid October. We look forward to welcoming you again in Kiel soon!
