The students begin to familiarize themselves with the strand-specific case (i.e., context, structures and processes, historical development), and explore possible joint research objects (Part A of the Transdisciplinary Research Process).

Specifically, in this TD project, students will implement their project research plan and autonomously apply methods of transdisciplinary research to increase sustainability in Lüneburg with a focus on the reduction of overconsumption. In cooperation with practice partners (e.g., WWF Germany), they work with different strategies and proposals on the co-production of knowledge and solutions to mitigate overconsumption. With the help of regular supervision and input from the lecturers, the students work independently to solve the previously identified case-specific problem and it is their duty to close these knowledge gaps in both a scientifically and practical manner. At the end of the project re-integration products are finalized and final products publicly presented and discussed.

Students know:
-the basic scientific state of the art related to their case study.
Students are able to:
-formulate ideas for a joint research object related to their case study.
-present and discuss the first research design and interim results (“work in progress”) in an understandable way.
