About the course: transdisciplinary research for societal challenges
Interdisciplinary Community Service Learning 2 (iCSL 2) is a part-time course spanning 21 weeks (6 ECTS). You work on challenges across a range of themes. Last year these included:
- Citizen Science
- Inclusive city-making
- Sustainability
What will you do?
You join an interdisciplinary student team and work alongside societal partners. Each team member addresses one aspect of the broader challenge, drawing on their own disciplinary knowledge, methods and experience. You meet periodically to integrate insights and reflect on the wider societal implications. The course concludes with an interdisciplinary report and a presentation to both academic and societal audiences, during a public dialogue event as part of the NWO project Science with Society
What will you learn?
You learn to bring together knowledge and insights from multiple disciplines to address complex, cross-disciplinary societal challenges. By feeding your findings back to societal partners, you contribute concretely to ongoing challenges in the city. You also develop skills including critical thinking, problem-solving and collaboration across disciplinary and organisational boundaries.
For more information, you can sign up for Q&A sessions in the new academic year. Further details to follow.
