What we do: The goal of the TdLab Winter School “Science meets Practice” is to offer scientists the knowledge and experience to generate and cultivate fruitful dialogue with people outside of academia. Our vision is to provide structure, time and space for scientists to learn how to make a meaningful connection between science and their own research to the wider public.
In addition to providing a theoretical basis for transdisciplinary research, we will also offer the chance to practice skills and strategies scientists can implement in their own research to engage with the public. Participants will have hands-on experience in communicating and interacting with stakeholders. The program is designed for PhD students and Postdocs from a wide array of disciplines, (primarily the environmental and natural sciences, engineering, and the social sciences), who are working on topics related to sustainability and sustainable development. Interested Masters students may also apply.
