Abstract

The chapter presents the methodological approach that is general to all case studies presented in the book. First of all, the conceptual background and the guiding principles such as inter- and transdisciplinarity, stake-holder involvement and exchange and learning, are presented and discussed. In the next section, a common understanding of research as a process is elaborated and a phasing concept is presented and operationalised. Finally, conclusions on the expected outcomes both for the scientific communities as well as for political and practice stakeholders are drawn and discussed.
