About
The main objective of the São Paulo School of Advanced Science on Transdisciplinarity for Transformative Change is to bring together renowned scholars, practitioners, early-career researchers (graduate students and postdoctoral fellows), and local community leaders for in-depth training in Transdisciplinarity.
The SPSAS Transdisciplinarity will be a combination of classes held by nationally and internationally renowned scholars, panels with policymakers, local practitioners, and indigenous leaders; hands-on mentored student activities in breakout groups to co-design a transdisciplinary research proposal for transformative change; field trips to research institutions and traditional communities (indigenous, caiçara, quilombola, caipira); art activities to co-design dialogues and scenarios; student research presentations using innovative ways to communicate science; cultural and networking events.
