The video series “Upgrade Your Science” from the TD Lab at Berlin University Alliance invites scientists to learn about the research mode of transdisciplinarity.

How can science contribute to solving social problems? How do researchers know what issues are important from the perspective of people outside science—for example, when it comes to major challenges of coexistence, such as social inequality, mobility, or the changes brought about by climate change?

How research can be conducted in a socially responsible manner and with the participation of society is a task of the TD-Lab, the laboratory for transdisciplinary research at the Berlin University Alliance. The Alliance is Berlin's network of excellence comprising Humboldt University, Technical University, and Free University, together with Charité Universitätsmedizin. Here, scientists work together with people from social practice in various research projects. They form transdisciplinary research groups with the aim of jointly developing applicable knowledge and thus contributing to the solution of major challenges.
