  • SCIENTIFIC APPROACH
summary Co-define indicators to support continuous critical reflection and learning.
Argumentation
  • Oberlack et al 2019 ToCs support continuous critical reflection and learning by providing indicators and procedures for project evaluation.
Metrics for evaluating transdisciplinary research are important. Spelling out the pathways to impacts can point to important indicators and procedures that go beyond traditionnal non systemic metrics (such as scientific publications and citations).
monitoring project progress against a formulated ToC enables critical reflection (PROCESS OF CONTINUOUS REFLECTION) and validation of assumptions about how change happens and why progress does or does not work out. This helps to improve the performance of ongoing projects, but also aids formulation of more promising ToCs for future projects.
carefully facilitated stakeholder meetings successfully enhance solution finding through open dialogue in which participants strive to understand each other’s perspectives, rather than fight for their own interests.
