In partnership with a2ru.org this section presents a set of of the most key terms which crop up when discussing arts/science collaboration. Here we want to cast a fresh light on the variety of meanings they may take on in different contexts, collaborations and disciplines. We're inviting the community of XSEAD to help curate a series of possible definitions and meanings for some of these clearly complex terms

Transdisciplinary
Basarab Nicolescu notes that “[T]ransdisciplinarity concerns that which is at once between the disciplines, across the different disciplines, and beyond all discipline. Its goal is the understanding of the present world, of which one of the imperatives is the unity of knowledge. As one can see, there is no opposition between disciplinarity (including multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity) and transdisciplinarity, but a fertile complementarity.”
