The Nexus Network workshop on ‘Transdisciplinary Methods for Developing Nexus Capabilities’, led by STEPS Co-Director Andy Stirling, will be held at the University of Sussex, UK on 29-30 June 2015.

The workshop will be shaped around two key questions:

• What different kinds and interconnections of method in contrasting contexts, form the most practical basis for enabling transformative action to address Nexus challenges?
• How can such encompassing Nexus methodologies best enable academic, government, business and civil society actors to develop appropriate skills, training and research capabilities?
