I am very much looking forward to my first international transdisciplinary conference in presence this time at the University of Utrecht. This will also be my first visit to Utrecht. I can't wait to see this charming city and meet people from all over the world who identify with the conference mission that couldn't be more timely.

We already had the wave of physicists, we are still waiting on the shoe to drop on topologists, but THE WAVE OF CRYPTOGRAPHERS INTO NEUROSCIENCE is the single most promising thing that i can imagine for the discipline. I have been wailing about this for years, but if as a neuroscientist prof you were to go to attend the cryptography 101 seminar at your university, you would be LITERALLY ON FIRE with good ideas and one million obvious experiments that should be done.

i sorta "give away free research agendas" as a way to survive in academia and the one i wish most someone would pick up on is NEUROSCIENTISTS COLLABORATE WITH CRYPTOGRAPHERS so they would hire me.

social.cryptography.dogansuz / ऐरन (@ansuz@social.cryptography.dog)there's a wee story brewing in the #crypto world that I find absolutely fascinating. normally I'm 100% in the "crypto means cryptography" camp, but this one happens to touch cryptocurrency as well, so uhhh, whatever. It's kind of technical but the interesting part is the human social aspect, so I'll try to explain it in simple terms. 1/n I guess

Worth a read for those who work on or are interested in transdisciplinary work: A framework for building transdisciplinary expertise - i2insights.org/2023/08/08/tran

> The aim is not to produce transdisciplinary problem-solving experts, but rather to produce graduates who know enough about what is required for transdisciplinary problem solving to be able to effectively contribute their disciplinary and other expertise to it, and who can continue to build their ability to contribute over their careers. This requires a combination of content knowledge and practical experience in each characteristic, and there is a wide range of possible contexts and pedagogies for delivering these.

"Second is: you need to formulate the questions and problems together. So many times I see natural scientists formulating a question getting to a point saying «Oh my god, we need a social scientist (or whatever)». They say: «Hey, can you come in and help us?».

It doesn't work. You actually need to throw the ideas around together from the beginning. That's one point." (cont.)

" We've got to do a couple of things. One is: [...] we've got to get over these disciplinary boundaries, not only within the humanities, within social sciences, within natural sciences, but across them. There's a couple of things you have to do.

One, you have to spend a lot of time learning each other's language and concepts. We've actually gone off on some very different directions: they need to be brought together." (cont.)

I found his answer to the question at the end so much resonating, as a terse definition of #transdisciplinary co-production of knowledge with an extended community of peers..

The question: "What kind of knowledge production, how can we bring together different modes of knowledge [...] in order to be prepared to face the challenges of the #Anthropocene?"

Article on Climate Bonus is read more than 10.000 times. In the last six months the article is on third place of the most viewed articles of the journal #Sustainability which issues a few thousand articles per year.

The articles describes the #cooperation between the climate bonus team in #Chiemgau and the City of #Traunstein and other stakeholders.

Our work in a research article in Sustainability (MDPI) about Climate Bonus (#Klimabonus) has achieved more than 100.000 views after two years!

So proud that our work on #climatemitigation responses well in the scientific community. We need more #transdisciplinary work as collaboration between #researchers and practicioners.

MDPICreating Monetary Collaborative Spaces for Social and Ecological TransformationComplementary currencies have spread to many places around the world at the beginning of the 21st century. Creating sustainable economic cycles and short transport routes are often the goals of introducing them. Due to their manageability, regional currencies can be embedded in debates of regional economics and sustainability. Above all, they are suitable for democratic experiments that can show in real environments whether currency designs work as examples of collaborative communities and research. One of these monetary experiments is the climate bonus, which is linked to the local currency Chiemgauer. The research path goes into the daily routine of a real laboratory to find out which methods would be effective enough to deliver carbon savings. The climate bonus creates a monetary network where people can try out new behaviors in a protected space. As a result, three years after the initiation of the project, carbon reductions are above expectations.

How is #transdisciplinary research designed? Based on previous work on real experiments by Gross and others, the #research path begins with analyzing the boundary conditions and then to bring together people who want to solve a #transformative challenge. Together knowlede is generated. In the case of the #Chiemgauer curency we had a look at the statistics and the current situation. Then we had three open workshops with the result to start a project with an #climate incentive.
