Doing Transdisciplinary Research: Lessons from the Frontline

The aim of the event was to provide an update on the activities of Future Earth and to provide an opportunity for an exchange of views on the challenges and opportunities when one is embarking on transdisciplinary research. The report from the workshop is now available to download and we've developed an accompanying infographic.
