6. Typology of research
in terms of integration of different disciplines
6
Intradisciplinary research Interdisciplinary research
Multidisciplinary research Transdisciplinary research
(Hadorn et al. eds. 2007)

7. Typology of research
in terms of non-academic participation
(Mauser et al. 2013 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cosust.2013.07.001) 7

8. Transdisciplinary Research
“Science with Society”
• Co-design of research agenda
• Co-production of knowledge
• Co-dissemination of the results
with societal stakeholders (actors) such as
governmental agencies, funders, industries, NPOs and
civil society
(Mauser et al. 2013 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cosust.2013.07.001)
Transdisciplinary research is always a team science,
targeting a real world problem, and
should ideally be a participatory action research.
(Hadorn et al. eds. 2007; Lang et al. 2012 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11625-011-0149-x) 8

12. FAIR data principle
• Findable
• Accessible
• Interoperable
• Reusable

14. Civic Tech and Pro bonos (skilled volunteers)
Happy Life Ideathon at RIHN in October 2015 Graphic recording (by S. Wanami)
• Individuals with high skills (e.g.,
ITC, social design) or expert
knowledge (e.g., legal, financial)
• Not always belonging to local
community but highly motivated.
• Leading social innovations by
using open government data. 14
