TD-Lab Funding Program of the Berlin University Alliance
Since 2025, the TD-Lab – Laboratory for Transdisciplinary Research at the Berlin University Alliance has been funding up to 15 participatory and/or transdisciplinary supplementary work packages annually with up to €10,000 in material resources.
As a society, we face challenges that research can help to solve. In order to address these current and future issues and to initiate social change through research, non-scientific actors and/or affected parties should be involved in the research process from the outset, for example to contribute ideas for potential applications, to integrate practical knowledge into the knowledge-gathering process, or to apply the newly produced knowledge in everyday practice. The goal of the TD-Lab Funding Program is to increase the impact of current research projects by involving social actors with their practical perspectives and knowledge in the research. Specifically, work packages that strengthen the exchange of knowledge between research and society are funded.
The call for the TD-Lab Funding Program 2026 closed on September 30, 2025.
