Contemporary urban challenges are characterised by increasing complexity and uncertainty. According to the objectives of its Strategic Plan, Politecnico di Torino, as well as many other universities, tried to take the opportunity to turn the interdisciplinary collaboration among different technological and scientific fields into something more systematic. The DIST and the many Interdepartmental Centers are examples of that, but still an effective collaboration and integration among people and disciplines is difficult to achieve.

Collaborative multi-stakeholder processes, especially when focused on wicked problems, face a number of key challenges. There is often contestation between different forms of knowledge, and thus different voices. This is often due to a lack of understanding, appreciation of and learning about the relevance and validity of different knowledge claims, approaches and definitions.

Get the vibes of this first transdisciplinary gathering of good people working on #educationforsustainability around the world! We got infected by the energy of such change agents that want to keep going, despite the distance and the current moment of … transition, and we are currently working for creating a community of transdisciplinary practitioners wanting to research and educate in the field of future studies and collaborative organisation aiming at positive societal impacts and transformative learning goals.
