Generating
Impact Through Transdisciplinary Research: Co-Designing Solutions for Complex
Marine and Coastal Challenges
Participants will interact with international and local academia and practitioners as well as experts in knowledge transfer and communication at the science/policy interface. Lectures will cover theoretical backgrounds, concepts, and methods – from transdisciplinarity and project co-design to complexities of agreeing on goals and joint visions in the context of multiple actors from diverse backgrounds.
The training will include discussions on measures of research quality in a transdisciplinary context, tackling inequalities, managing teams and conflict situations, and generating impactful outcomes. For each topic, real-world examples and insights by practitioners will be given. Training in effective science communication for a non-academic audience will also be provided.
The objective of the training is to deliver practical lab (and
minor bioinformatics skills) on a small and relatively affordable DNA sequencing device,
the MinION from Oxford Nanopores Technologies. We go from tissue to COI
reference DNA barcode within the WAMBA-net summer school 2024 at the Université Nangui Abrogoua, Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. Although this lab focused training targets the generation of a reference DNA
barcode database, the same protocol can be used to monitor
biodiversity with eDNA.
Monitoring the Status of Marine Coastal Ecosystems

Marine Research in an Inter- and Transdisciplinary Environment. The course aims to introduce
participants to ZMT´s mission and vision and to
establish a relation to their own research
project. This includes a reflection on the
research design of their project and on concepts
of interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity
which are central to ZMT.
Eventhough it was
initially designed for Doctoral candidates we feel
that also Postdocs, especially when they are new
at ZMT, can profit from the course - and be a
contribution to the course at the same time.
Beim deutschlandweiten Girls / Boys Day (auch Zukunftstag) beteiligt
sich das ZMT mit diesem
digitalen Angebot. Hier wird Arbeits- und Informationsmaterial bereitgestellt. Im begleitenden Videotreffen am 22.4.2021 werden exemplarisch Berufswege vorgestellt und Raum zur Diskussion gegeben. Beispielhaft werden am Thema Korallenriff und Nachhaltigkeit Arbeitsfelder des Leibniz-Zentrum für Marine Tropenforschung aufgezeigt.
