Our Pre-Training Program
Before launching our new Transdisciplinary Problem Solving courses, we conducted an essential introductory program. This initiative prepared our students for the unique challenges and opportunities ahead by discussing the importance of transdisciplinary practice in addressing global challenges. Students were introduced to core competencies, set expectations for their learning experiences, and learned effective strategies for teamwork and collaboration. Clear guidelines and a comprehensive course overview were also provided.
