We will describe the benefits (and drawbacks) of transdisciplinary research and how transdisciplinarity is used in this context. Theoretical lectures will be mixed with presentations of successful one health cases. Methods commonly used within the one health concept will be presented, including epidemiology, bioinformatics, and qualitative research methods.\n\nParticipants will present their own research project to the group and after the first course week they will give a second presentation describing how the project could be developed using one health concept and methodology. The second week, students will be divided into groups and given the task to come up with a one health research project, and a skeleton for a research application. The second week will also include lectures on how to write a transdisciplinary research application, with emphasis on impact and communication.","Examination formats":"To pass the course, the participants must have attended at least 80% of the scheduled activities, and completed and passed all assignments in the course. \r\n- If a student has failed an examination, the examiner has the right to issue supplementary assignments.
