A part of transdisciplinarity is, that socially relevant knowledge is not developed in the ivry tower of science, but with non-scientific partners. Furthermore it is often necessary to examine socially relevant problems across disciplinary-bounderies (interdisciplinarity) and to develop effective strategies together with politics, economic and society (co-production of knowledge). For this purpose, space- and time-dependent processes of different scales must be researched (system knowledge), as well as the interlocked governance problems and options for change (transformation knowledge) must be named. Plus a successfull transdisciplinary research (TDR) needs fundamentals , on which a social consensus on goals can be reached (target knowledge). For this research methods are provided.
