Webinar | Why “Integration and Implementation Sciences” and not just “Transdisciplinarity”?
On March 3rd at 10:00 (GMT), the first webinar of a series will take place online (link here), integrated into the Transversal Course Unit “The Practice of Transdisciplinarity in the Academic Context in Topics Related to the Sustainable Management of Natural Resources.”
This course unit, coordinated by the researcher Mª Helena Guimarães, has been made available to all PhD students at the University of Évora, including those enrolled in doctoral programmes integrated within MED.
The session will feature Prof. Gabriele Bammer (Australian National University), who will deliver a presentation entitled “Why ‘Integration and Implementation Sciences’ and not just ‘Transdisciplinarity’?”
The webinars are open to all interested participants. During the Q&A sessions, priority will be given to students enrolled in the course.
About the Invited Speaker
Gabriele Bammer is Professor of Integration and Implementation Sciences (i2S) at The Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra. She is developing the new discipline of Integration and Implementation Sciences to improve research strengths for tackling complex societal and environmental problems (see https://i2insights.org/i2s/) and she curates the popular Integration and Implementation Insights toolkit (http://i2Insights.org). She is also the inaugural President of the Global Alliance for Inter- and Transdisciplinarity.

About the Course Unit and the Webinar Series
This course unit explores approaches, techniques, and methods that promote active participation in transdisciplinary research across different fields of knowledge. It develops key competencies such as teamwork, critical thinking, and the integration of transdisciplinary components into academic pathways.
The integration of four webinars featuring leading members of the international inter- and transdisciplinary research community aims to provide students with a grounded understanding of both the diversity and the coherence of this scientific field.
