Leerdoelen	Students who participated in this interactive course are able to: 1. appraise what other disciplines can add to their own discipline and vice versa 2. communicate the role of their discipline in promoting a sustainable society to diverse disciplines and audiences 3. formulate links between theoretical frameworks from different disciplines 4. use and integrate theories from their own discipline and insights from other disciplines in an interdisciplinary project 5. recognize the factors that can hamper and strengthen success of multi- and interdisciplinary projects, and apply tools to benefit from these
Omschrijving	Environmental challenges are complex and require expertise from multiple disciplines. Among others, social scientists, spatial scientists, and environmental scientists need to collaborate to be able to understand and tackle major challenges. Consequently, there is growing interest in interdisciplinary environmental research that integrates insights from various disciplines. In this interactive course, you will become familiar with how different disciplines study environmental problems, and their main contributions. You will collaborate with students outside of your own disciplinary field to develop an integrative research idea. In the process, you will learn tools to better work in interdisciplinary teams.
