The transment approach

When companies, associations, municipalities, administration or civil society initiatives - but also science - tackle a problem, they often only look at a small section and specific actors. At best, a patchwork of solutions can emerge. Forward-looking alternative courses of action only develop when different perspectives work together. Because then new potential solutions and new opportunities open up. To achieve this, various actors must participate in the solution process.

Challenge: Different interests and goals as well as established patterns and procedures that are not easy to leave.

The transment approach responds to this by accompanying the actors step by step from problem definition to solution development. To do this, the actors from science take on three different roles: They analyze the problem in the interdisciplinary team (1), act as experts in the transdisciplinary team (2) and navigate the transdisciplinary processes (3).
