具有包容性利益攸关方参与的社区项目对于在“邪恶”城市生态系统服务挑战的科学和管理方面取得强劲成果越来越重要。我们总结了从一个跨学科的，以团队为基础的博士生教育计划，从事学生在这样的多利益相关者的研究，复杂的问题。关键的经验教训是：（a）基于问题的项目促进学生积极参与，加速跨学科分析;（B）解决公共或私营组织更尖锐的干预措施的问题，通过明确界定问题和揭示不同利益攸关方的目标和观点，使学习成为可能，（c）第（1）款解决棘手问题的成功项目要求跨学科团队从一开始就开始，透镜和选择适当的理论和方法来实施项目，（d）定期的利益相关者参与导致相互有意义的项目成果，为大学研究人员推进学术前沿，并为社区合作伙伴提供相关的解决方案，以及（e）大学对项目教师，学生，工作人员和灵活性，以奖励跨学科界限的创新合作是促进跨学科教育取得成功的关键。我们的经验教训提供了指导，通过一般的研究项目解决邪恶的问题，并制定跨学科的研究生教育的培训方法。
Community-based projects with inclusive stakeholder engagement are increasingly important to achieve robust outcomes in the science and management of 'wicked' urban ecosystem service challenges. We summarize lessons learned from a transdisciplinary, team-based doctoral education program that engaged students in research on such multi-stakeholder, complex problems. The key lessons are (a) problem-based projects foster active student engagement and accelerate transdisciplinary analysis, (b) problems addressing more acute interventions by public or private organizations enable learning by clearly delineating the issues and revealing the goals and perspectives of varied stakeholders, (c) successful projects that address wicked problems require that transdisciplinary teams begin from inception to robustly frame research questions with multiple lenses and choose appropriate theories and methods to implement projects, (d) regular stakeholder engagement leads to mutually meaningful project outcomes that advance scholarly frontiers for university researchers and provide relevant solutions for community partners, and (e) university administrative investment in program faculty, students, and staff and flexibility to reward innovative collaborations across disciplinary boundaries are keys to facilitate success in transdisciplinary education. Our lessons provide guidance both for addressing wicked problems through research projects in general and for formulating transdisciplinary training approaches for graduate education.
