The latest analysis of the PLANET4B project - Transdisciplinary diagnostic framework for biodiversity decision-making assessment - summarises the results of nearly one and a half years of intensive methodological research. This comprehensive study proposes a methodological framework that helps examine decision-making and influencing decisions about biodiversity by involving numerous scientific disciplines. Read about the findings of our latest research report in brief.

To increase cooperation among the Transformative Change Cluster (TCC) Horizon Europe projects, three working groups were created involving relevant projects.  The action plan will be built upon and expanded throughout the lifecycle of the projects that make up Working Group 3 through regular collaborative partner input and feedback from members of the working group as well as across the two other TCC working groups. This joint action plan works as [...]

The document provides a brief summary of the Report on pre-test and pre-validation of contextualised intervention methods, which describes and analyses the methodologies applied, pre-tested, and adapted by the PLANET4B case studies.

The success of any research is based on well-defined theories and on the accurate methodology used by the researchers. But working on transdisciplanry researches can be a special challange. What is the key to find a common language and develop a common working methodology between the academic researchers, practice partners and the societal stakeholders? How can we apply theoretical frameworks into research and how do we manage the limitations? Read about [...]

The aim of the joint working methodology is to understand each other's knowledge base, mindset and expectations, so that project partners (academics, practice partners and societal stakeholders) can work effectively on common research topics. To address this challenge, social science theories and methodologies applied in the project were debated in a workshop to explore their practical implications for research, interventions, policy, and communication. The report summarises the process and outcomes of [...]

This report documents the internal PLANET4B process of selecting, pre-testing, adapting and aligning individual research-based intervention methods to the eleven individual case studies.  It provides an overview of how the task of aligning intervention methods to intersectional and biodiversity challenges of individual case studies was managed by the Task leads and engaged with by the wider consortium, including through a range of collective – online, offline, in-person, plenary, small-group – and independent case study level working.
