§ Initiative of Peter Edwards (former Dean, now Singapore-ETH) § Fields of activities (see http://www.tdlab.usys.ethz.ch/)
§ Teaching: bachelor, master and PhD level in TDforSD § Research: initiate, coordinate and undertake exemplary td research
projects, develop Td methods toolbox § Services: advise/support USYS’s students and researchers in TDforSD
§ People at the USYS TdLab § Co-directors Pius Krütli, Christian Pohl & Michael Stauffacher (each 50%
permanent position) § Core team (Alice Hertzog, Dagmar Schröter, BinBin Pearce, Carolina
Adler, Evelina Trutnevyte – teaching project and research funded) § PhD students & PostDocs/Seniors (e.g. Mert Duygan, Greg Meylan,
Theresa Knoblauch, Roman Seidl, Carmenza Robledo – research funded) § Guest researchers (PhD students, PostDocs, Profs)

§ Bachelor level (German, UWIS only, > 100 students) § [Einführung in den Umgang mit Umweltsystemen (4 ECTS)] § [Analyse und Beurteilung der Umweltschädlichkeit (6 ECTS)] à at the moment revised and integrated into one course (10 ECTS)
§ Masters level (English, UWIS/AGRW/beyond; 20-30 students) § Transdisciplinary case study (7 ECTS) § Transdisciplinary case study methods (3 ECTS) § Sustainability assessment (3 ECTS) à minor TDforSD (case study plus one of the two method course) § [additionally: MSc theses (30 ECTS each)]
§ PhD/PostDoc (English, ETH domain & beyond; 20-30 students) § CCES Winterschool „Science Meets Practice“ (4 ECTS) § Seminar Td Research for Sustainable Development (2 ECTS)
Our teaching core: TDforSD (transdisciplinary research for sustainable development)

§ Purpose: master students tackle a real-world problem in interaction with societal actors
§ Learning focus: research based learning, id group, stakeholder engagement
§ Features: covers whole research process (from formulating research questions to writing report)
Example master level: transdisciplinary case study

§ Purpose: PhDs and Post-Docs plan and run interactions with people from practice.
§ Learning focus: Exchange on equal footing with practice, moderation and consultation skills, work in id groups
§ Features: PhDs take full responsibility, stakeholder engagement is experienced in real-world context
Example PhD level: “Science meets practice”

§ How to deeply integrate system and design thinking?
§ How to adequately grade case study courses?
§ How to combine consecutive elements of our curriculum with incoming new students?
§ Teaching abroad (e.g. summer schools in Colombia, case study in the Seychelles): challenges and benefits?
Some of TdLab’s burning questions:
