Outputs include action-led agendas and building stakeholder synergies through regular Policy Insight events.</span> </p> </div> <div> <p><span lang="EN-US">This is captured in a high-profile virtual SSH CENTRE generating and sharing best practice for SSH policy advice, overcoming fragmentation to accelerate the EU’s journey to a sustainable future.<br><br><strong>Ten challenges for successful inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration: Briefing Note collection of SSH CENTRE</strong><br>This collection of briefing notes aims to provide a comprehensive overview of challenges to Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) visibility in inter- and transdisciplinary research for climate, energy, and mobility. The collection has been created based on experiences of researchers participating in activities of SSH CENTRE. Through a series of collaborative epistemic experiments, the project explored how researchers, policymakers, and citizens can work together more effectively across disciplinary and institutional boundaries. We ran a process of formative accompanying research to understand the experiences of researchers participating in these epistemic experiments, as described in the linked workflow:<br><em>Leventon, J., Gerlich, V., & Prášilová, T.

Zenodo. <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17551759">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17551759 </a></em><br>On the basis of this formative accompanying research, we identified ten core challenges associated with succesful inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration. In this collection of briefing notes, we explain these challenges, how they are addressed in existing literature, how they are experienced by participants in the SSH CENTRE activities, and how they might be addressed for successful collaboration.</span></p> <div> <div> <p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Files Uploaded</span> </strong></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">The file included in this publication is the complete briefing note collection, including an introduction, and the 10 briefing notes themselves. These briefing notes each address a challenges identified from the formative accompanying research process. These are:<br>BN1 – Balancing SSH and STEM contributions in inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration<br>BN2 – Time demands in inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration<br>BN3 – Organisational structures as challenges to inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration<br>BN4 – Evaluation metrics in inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration<br>BN5 – Disciplinary design and evaluation standards in inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration<br>BN6 – Navigating terminology, concepts, and methods in inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration<br>BN7 – Coordination and leadership in inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration<br>BN8 – Spaces for communication in inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration<br>BN9 – Positionality and reflexivity in inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration<br>BN10 – Engaging stakeholders and audiences in inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration<br></span></p> </div> </div> </div>
