About the KIN Crutzen workshop
The Crutzen workshop is a workshop format developed by KIN in which participants from different disciplines work together on system transitions.
Transdisciplinary & co-creative
The Crutzen workshop is the starting point for most of the KIN’s work programmes. During Crutzen workshops, stakeholders involved in a particular issue (researchers, policymakers, civil society organisations) work together in a short period of time to outline a programme. Together, they draw up an agenda describing possible knowledge interventions and potential solutions. We call this a knowledge-in-action agenda. This agenda is part of our broader approach at KIN.
The workshops are named after Dutch meteorologist and Nobel Prize winner Paul Crutzen, one of the most important figures in atmospheric science. Taking action and conducting research in a new way – working together towards a common goal, not in competition but in co-creation. That is the starting point for the Crutzen workshops. The workshops can take various forms. In this phase of the KIN, we are trying out different approaches.
About the Knowledge in Action Approach
The Crutzen workshop is an important part of the integrated Knowledge-in-Action Approach developed by KIN for transitions. The workshop takes place in one of the early phases of programme development.
