Transdisciplinarity : Science for the public good

Transdisciplinarity was discussed publicly 50 years ago at an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) international seminar in France. Today, the term transdisciplinarity is still being debated and is often contested. However, private foundations and public agencies are funding transdisciplinary projects intended to respond to complex societal conditions.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences has published an article by Prof. Hon. Roderick J. Lawrence, entitled "Transdisciplinarity : Science for the public good". You can read it online on the New York Academy of Sciences website.
