How could research ethics governance better support participatory, transdisciplinary, and transformation-oriented research?
Walfer School of Arts and Sciences in Switzerland is creating a research framework to support multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research in Master’s and doctoral programs.
The framework aims to enable research questions that cannot be adequately explored or answered within a single academic tradition.
Transdisciplinary research crosses academic boundaries and includes practitioners, policymakers, and communities affected by the research.
Researchers must define their question, identify their main area of study, and justify the need for other disciplines while ensuring qualified supervision and ethical governance under the framework.
