Evalunet identified quality criteria capable of being used to evaluate and draft transdisciplinary research projects.
Research approach
The quality criteria were intended to initiate a specific tradition for evaluating transdisciplinary research and to strengthen the research approach as a whole. To bring this about, continuing education and quality control in the relevant institutes were strengthened and a guideline developed as an instrument for a process-oriented (self-) evaluation.
Furthermore, the "Evaluation Network for Transdisciplinary Research (Evalunet)", was designed to support the formation of competency centres and to give social-ecological research a more visible presence in Germany
