ABSTRACT
The winner of the competition was a self-organised polycentric network of approximately 100 people from the creative scene of Lucerne called the “Neubad Association.” The interdisciplinary Urban Vision Lab research group aimed at setting up a continuous dialogue between citizens and institutions on questions related to city development and shifted a part of the project’s budget and resources to the support of the Neubad Association during the phase of writing up the tender proposal. The core researchers involved in the Neubad accompanying research project were core team members of the CreaLab, and they called in other researchers whose competencies were required. One of the enablers in the interdisciplinary project team was that the researchers knew each other from intensively working together for almost three years in the CreaLab. Inter-and transdisciplinary research projects face several challenges to joint knowledge production because they usually deal with themes of large complexity and uncertainty, and involve diverse stakeholders.
