My name is Jennifer Hauck and with CoKnow Consulting I am offering my over 10 years of experience in building capacity for inter- and transdisciplinary processes. I support you and your stakeholders to co-produce knowledge and co-design solutions for sustainability!
More specifically I support you in overcoming barriers of inter- and transdisciplinary cooperation such as language barriers between different scientific disciplines and between science and practice. I help to explore different worldviews, goals and motivations, integrate different working styles, and planning horizons of all partners involved.
Your benefits will be an easier and less cost intensive organization of processes, minimizing risks of failure to co-produce relevant knowledge and ensure the co-design of useful solutions for sustainability. Of course, the goal of CoKnow is also to develop your capacities to organize inter- and transdisciplinary processes yourself.
