ITD Alliance

The Global Alliance for Inter- and Transdisciplinarity (ITD Alliance) strengthens and promotes the global capacity and the calibre of collaborative modes of boundary-crossing research and practice.

Alliance what for?

The goal of the ITD Alliance is to link networks, associations, institutions, and individuals with shared interest in interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary theories, methods, and practices for addressing complex problems and questions. It increases visibility and coalesces work currently dispersed across the world by catalysing greater collaboration for societal problem solving and understanding of complex issues while promoting inter- and transdisciplinarity.

The ITD Alliance offers a home base for all institutions and individuals engaged in collaborative modes of research.
