 Staying Relevant through curiosity driven trans-disciplinary research: Quote and 3-I Mantra

QUOTE

Transdisciplinary research is responsive to public needs. Methodologically, transdisciplinary research follows responsive or iterative methodologies, requires innovation, creativity, and flexibility, and often employs participatory research design strategies. Transdisciplinarity has the potential to greatly enhance public scholarship. Transdisciplinarity is an approach to conducting research. Transdisciplinarity research practices are issue or problem centred, and prioritize the problem at the centre of research over disciplines- specifics concerns, theories, or methods

1.3: Inter-disciplinary, multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary approaches to knowledge construction to improve situation and benefit beneficiaries
