ABSTRACT
Those undertaking transdisciplinary research currently have no comprehensive toolkit from which to draw the concepts and methods that are most relevant for their particular study. The work that comes closest to playing that role is the excellent book by Matthias Bergmann and colleagues (2010), which is particularly relevant to the kind of transdisciplinarity practised in Germanspeaking countries. This chapter takes a broader view of transdisciplinary research, encompassing multiple defi nitions (see for example System Dynamics Society (2015) and this volume). It also ranges widely to fi nd tools that may have been originally developed with some other purpose in mind but are useful for transdisciplinary research.
