Conceptualising transdisciplinary integration as a multidimensional interactive process

Integration is a key process in transdisciplinary research and knowledge co-production. Nonetheless, it often used as buzzword without specifying what exactly means or actually happens during integration. We propose conceptualizing integration multidimensional interactive process. characterize an open-ended learning pre-determined outcomes. designates relations established throughout between elements that were not previously related. Those are participants the their thought-styles thought-collectives more specifically pieces of knowledge, ideas, practices from different well views individual researchers practitioners. can happen at manifold instances It take place among two, several, all be one-sided mutual. might include insights, practices, frameworks, concepts shared by participants.

To analyse achieve effective integration, further dimensions beyond cognitive have taken into account including least emotional social-interactional dimension.
