Next Action Items:
We will explore methods for identifying transdisciplinary research topics by engaging stakeholders and citizens through processes like citizen assemblies.
 
In RISH, we will evaluate suitable facilitators and process designers with expertise in both the subject domain and facilitation skills for catalyzing transdisciplinary research processes and will establish clear criteria and methods for measuring the outputs, outcomes, and impacts of transdisciplinary research processes.
