International Transdisciplinary Conference ITD27 Working Title: “Bridging Knowledge and Networks: Inter- and Transdisciplinarity for Transformative Change.”
This conference offers leading trainers, researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world the opportunity to share their knowledge, insights, and expertise on the critical issues in inter- and transdisciplinarity needed to build capacity in and through research, education, policy making, activism, and artistic engagement.
ITD27 is organised by the Global Alliance for Inter- and Transdisciplinarity (ITD Alliance), the Network for Transdisciplinary Research (td-net) at the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences, and the University of Évora, Portugal, more specifically by the Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development (MED) and CHANGE – Global Change and Sustainability Institute, at the University of Évora. Our goal is to co-create a space that deepens dialogue and connections across individuals, institutions, and global networks—advancing transformative change through collaboration.

Title: Bridging Knowledge and Networks: Inter- and Transdisciplinarity for Transformative Change.
Two major themes for the 2027 ITD Conference (ITD27) will be explored:
The role of inter- and transdisciplinarity in transformative change
Networking towards transformative change
Transformative change inherently requires a systems perspective, addressing transitions not only within academia but also across funding institutions, policymaking, and other societal sectors. This thematic focus allows us to build on key highlights from the previous ITD Conference, particularly:
Engagement with funding agencies on how to support and evaluate inter- and transdisciplinary projects
The role of integration experts and expertise and career opportunities
Education and training in inter- and transdisciplinarity, strengthening institutional capacity
Our goal is to co-create a space that deepens dialogue and connections across individuals, institutions, and global networks—advancing transformative change through collaboration.
The call for abstracts will be announced in mid-2026.
