825 INTER- and TRANSdisciplinary Research -

a framework for Integration and Implementation 

 

Target group:

Project leaders and senior investigators involved in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinaryresearch. This can be on any complex real-world problem including areas such asenvironment, population health, security and education.

Objectives:

The course will provide:

  • a framework to design research integration and implementation
  • opportunities for you to reflect on your current research approaches and ways to buildon them
  • an environment and structure where you can interact with other experienced researchersto share skills, concepts and methods, as well as building new strategies for yourown work.

Content:

This course provides a framework for systematically:

  1. synthesising knowledge from different disciplines and stakeholders
  2. understanding and managing diverse unknowns
  3. providing research support for policy and practice change.

This includes:

  • systems thinking and modelling
  • dialogue methods
  • approaches for taking risk, uncertainty and other unknowns into account
  • theories about policy making to enhance effective implementation.

The course is underpinned by the new discipline of Integration and Implementation Sciences (http://i2s.anu.edu.au).

Methods:

The teaching style fosters cross-fertilization of ideas and methods through a mix of didactic, reflective and group work.

Prof. Gabriele Bammer Gabriele Bammer is a professor at The Australian National University and a research
fellow at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. She is developing
the new discipline of Integration and Implementation Sciences to improve research
strengths for tackling complex real-world problems through synthesising disciplinary and
stakeholder knowledge, understanding and managing diverse unknowns and providing
integrated research support for policy and practice change (see http://i2s.anu.edu.au).
