About TWR

Transdisciplinary transcends disciplinary boundaries and develops shared conceptual and methodologic frameworks. Transdisciplinary also involves both cooperation between various disciplines as well as cooperation between science and society, with a focus on demand-driven research of real-world problems.

Therefore, the TWR network consists of researchers and practitioners from universities and from other public and private organisations involved in workplace research. Although its roots lie in Europe, TWR conferences attract participants from all other continents as well.

We are a foundation and you can join our mailinglist for free to stay updated about our activities (see Contact). You will also find information in the contact section about voluntary donations to help us reach our strategic goals, which gives you access to an extensive, regular newsletter. Below you find our Board and the scientific committee of our conferences.
