New Horizons in Transdisciplinary Research

Can research both engage with complex realities and be recognized by society? This was both the opening and closing question of the first annual conference of the Society for Transdisciplinary and Participatory Research (GTPF), held in early April 2025, in Frankfurt. The question speaks to one of the most pressing challenges of our time: how can research bridge the gap between the pursuit of knowledge and its ethical and social responsibilities? The answer begins where science and society embark on a shared journey.
