The ConPolicy Institute for Consumer Policy has been a member of the Society for Transdisciplinary and Participatory Research (GTPF) since this year. This underlines our commitment to innovative, practice-oriented research that actively involves social actors.
ConPolicy is also taking part in the first GTPF annual conference “New Horizons in Transdisciplinary Research” on April 2 and 3, 2025 in Frankfurt to exchange ideas with other researchers and funding institutions on central topics of transdisciplinary research, including
- Context-sensitive design of research formats and methods
- Social and scientific impact of transdisciplinary projects
- Perspectives on the institutionalization of transdisciplinarity in the science system
Transdisciplinary and participatory research are becoming increasingly important as they make it possible to tackle complex societal challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration and dialog with societal stakeholders. The GTPF Annual Conference offers a central platform for this. In interactive formats such as discussion forums, world cafés and marketplaces, approaches for better anchoring and methodological consolidation of these research fields in the science system will be discussed.
