Institutionalization and establishment of participatory and transdisciplinary research in the scientific system

Description

Discussion Paper 01-2026 by the Institutionalization Working Group of the German Society for Transdiciplinary an Partipatory Research (GTPF). 

The Society for Transdisciplinary and Participatory Research (GTPF) was established to embed and professionalise research that takes social responsibility seriously, in collaboration with partners from all sectors of society within the academic system. In light of these considerations, the Institutionalization Working Group advances the argument in this paper for the systemic and systematic integration of participatory and transdisciplinary research within the regulatory systems of the scientific system. This paper is therefore directed at the broader scientific community, practice partners in participatory and transdisciplinary work, science policy actors, and funding bodies.

This Working Paper constitutes an English translation of a German-language publication.
