Introducing TAH Impact Academy Summer Courses 2025 in Prague
Charles University
Charles University, as a founding member of the TAH Centre, is pleased to introduce the TAH Impact Academy's inaugural summer courses. Taking place in Prague, these professional development opportunities bring together experts from technology, art, and humanities to create a genuine transdisciplinary learning environment. Students, faculty members and researchers are invited to participate in either "Art-Tech for Higher Education" (July 14-17) or "Future Tech & Social Justice" (August 11-14). Both courses are eligible for Erasmus+ funding, with applications closing May 31, 2025.

Kaleido Retreat 2025 What is on the other side?
his year’s theme is about visions on what could be on the other side of the churning taking place across the planet. Ecologically, politically and individually, we are at a tipping point from which our collective reality can take a multitude of different turns. We’ve curated speakers from numerous domains, methodologies and schools of thought to offer the richest of perspectives.

Summer School: Inter- and Transdisciplinary Integration in Science, Policy and Practice
ETH Zurich
Description
Integration is an integral part of inter- and transdisciplinary research. It implies the co-production and synthesis towards a problem and its potential solutions. It is a fundamental process when collaborating across disciplines and thematic fields and working at the interface between science, policy and practice. Drawing on empirical cases students work in a hands-on experiential setting.
Expected learning outcomes
Meeting environmental and societal challenges requires responses that integrate a wide range of perspectives from different disciplines (i.e. interdisciplinary integration), as well as from science, policy and practice (i.e. transdisciplinary integration).
Integration, in this context, is an integral part of inter- and transdisciplinary research. It implies the co-production and synthesis of different knowledges, perspectives, insights, interests, expectations and collaborative approaches towards a problem and its potential solutions. It is a fundamental process in research when collaborating across scientific disciplines (e.g., natural and social sciences) and thematic fields (e.g., policy analysis) and working at the interface between science, policy and practice. The summer school offers a hands-on experiential setting together with empirical cases situated at that interface.
At the end of the summer school students are able to:
Understand and analyse different theories, concepts, methods and tools of integration and assess their strengths and weaknesses.
Apply methods and tools of integration to selected case studies and critically reflect on their potentials and limitations.
Communicate and collaborate with others in different contexts and forms, bringing in own viewpoints, recognising others, and synthesising ideas.
Date: 18 - 22 August
Application Deadline: 01 May

Studienwoche «Nachhaltige Entwicklung und Transformation»
Blockseminar
Die Studienwoche vermittelt grundlegende sowie neueste Erkenntnisse der Nachhaltigen Entwicklung mit einem Fokus auf Verstehen, Analyse und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten in einer demokratischen Gesellschaft unter Zeitdruck. Ausgangspunkt ist die Vermittlung von Grundlagenwissen zu Entwicklung und Gehalt des normativen Leitbilds sowie daraus folgende Implikationen für Wissenschaft, Politik, Wirtschaft und Zivilgesellschaft. Aktuelle Zielkonflikte nicht-nachhaltiger Entwicklung werden in transdisziplinären Co-Teachings bearbeitet. Konkrete Fragestellungen werden von den Studierenden in transdisziplinären Fallanalysen mit dem Ziel bearbeitet, Transformationswissen kritisch anzuwenden.

Team Science Workshop
Team Science Consulting
With new discoveries and technologies over the past few decades, we have seen an exponential increase in the scale and complexity of scientific research. Funding agencies have responded by shifting more and more resources into collaborative research. The result has been more team science being done by both small and large teams, rather than individual researchers. Collaborations bring additional challenges, both to the researchers and to individuals managing projects, programs, and teams. Whether you are a PI, a project/program manager or a research development professional, questions abound: How do you shift culture and behavior while also effectively managing resources, people and ideas? What are the first steps to creating an effective team where everyone is on the same page? How do you manage those inevitable “itchy-scratchy” moments? The goal of this workshop is to provide you with tools to put evidence-based Science of Team Science (SciTS) research into practice with your team(s). This foundational knowledge will provide you with a variety of insights, skills, and resources you can take back to your team(s) and immediately put into practice. (FYI - Advanced topic workshops coming in 2026)

Pathways Autumn School 2025
Futureearth
The Pathways Autumn School creates a learning space for early-career researchers in sustainability science, as a space of connection among scientists from all disciplines who are working to understand sustainability challenges and actively contribute to societal transformations. The 2025 School will focus on the concepts, practices and challenges of a more transformative research agenda within sustainability science.
The programme includes three main streams:
Module 1 - Towards a shared glossary for interdisciplinary work in sustainability science
Module 2 - Learning to engage with societal actors: a case study in the Alps
Module 3 - Technological and geo-political dynamics: Key challenges for sustainability science
Taking place in Aussois, the French Alps, from 13-17 October, 2025, participants will reflect and engage, both personally and collectively through a shared living space and a 5-day programme consisting of interactive workshops, keynote sessions, outdoor activities and interdisciplinary exchange.
Doctoral researchers and researchers who finished their PhD within the last 10 years (excluding periods of parental leave) who are living and working in Europe are invited to apply. Find further information and how to apply on the Pathways website and also on the 2025 School brochure. The call for applications is open until 12 May 2025 at midnight CEST.

Governance, Design and Delivery of Interdisciplinary Higher Education
Utrecht University
Utrecht University has adopted a comprehensive approach to broadening and deepening its interdisciplinary teaching & learning portfolio on all levels of education (bachelor’s, master’s, PhD and continuing education). We combine theory and experiments in the governance of interdisciplinary higher education (IHE) with educational development and teacher professionalization for IHE and with research of IHE. We provide this introduction via lectures, experiential learning and time for reflection. The aim is for participants to reflect on and improve interdisciplinary endeavors at their own institution by learning from the course’s lecturers and fellow participants.
This course has been designed for educational leaders and policy advisors in higher education and for designers of and teachers in interdisciplinary higher education.

Mini-workshop: Designing for effective decision-making during virtual meetings
Meetings and virtual events often involve asking attendees to make decisions. Decision-making invokes numerous considerations, including how to negotiate power dynamics, empower everyone to express their opinions, and actually reach the outcome(s) you desire. In this Mini-workshop, you will explore four broad decision-making modes (authority rule, consultation, voting, and consensus) and then use the PACT framework to plan a decision-making process. You will leave prepared to deploy decision-making processes in a way that invites all attendees at your meetings and events to contribute.
