Eefje Aarnoudse presented preliminary results from an ongoing workshop series on “Good funding practices to advance transdisciplinary research on sustainable land management in Africa”. The involvement of non-academic, societal actors (such as communities or producer associations) in research on sustainable land management is crucial to ensure that research results lead to real-world solutions. The workshop series will bring together German and African researchers, funders and science policy makers to identify and validate innovative funding practices that enable transdisciplinary research approaches.
