Team

TdLab brings together lecturers and researchers from very diverse disciplinary, professional and cultural horizons. You will find environmental scientists, psychologists, philosophers, engineers, geographers or anthropologists from places close to home in Switzerland, and as far flung as Colombia or the US.

TdLab is run collegially by three co-directors Pius Krütli, Christian Pohl and Michael Stauffacher. They take turns each year to represent us as "speaker". Our team includes researchers, teachers and doctoral and masters students. We are also fully supported by an administrator, designer and IT expert.

Together, we apply existing transdisciplinary concepts and methods, develop new ones and reflect on their outcomes to further transdisciplinary research and teaching.

We are bound together by strong commitment to strengthening the interface between science and society and addressing sustainability through transdisciplinary methods. We are convinced that today’s problems should only be tackled in a collaborative way building on the knowledge and skills of both academics and people directly affected and concerned by them.
