sUser project presented at the Conference Reflections on Transformation: Shaping the Future, Transcending Disciplinary Silos and Exploring ‘Lived’ Knowledge Systems, University of Graz, Austria
The sUser project was presented at the conference that was realized as a joint event of the COST Action CA21166 “Social Sciences and Humanities for Transformation and Climate Resilience – SHiFT” (https://shift-cost.eu/) with the MAGICA project (https://magica-project.eu/ ) and JPI Climate (https://jpi-climate.eu/ ).
This conference brought together a multitude of disciplines to develop different concepts, central to the need to transform society in the face of climate change, and the challenges this raises. With the aim to explore the transferability of transdisciplinary critical practice knowledge and skills within and beyond academia, as well as to explore different facets and versions of transformations (change, reform, revolution, transition etc, both in history and theory), the conference sought to transcend disciplinary silos by engaging with a plurality of knowledge systems and approaches to transformation.
The sUser project was presented at the conference titled Reflections on Transformation: Shaping the Future, Transcending Disciplinary Silos and Exploring ‘Lived’ Knowledge Systems, held at the University of Graz in Austria.

Its aim was to bring together experts from different disciplines to develop concepts central to the need for societal transformation in the face of climate change. By exploring the transferability of transdisciplinary critical practice knowledge and skills within and beyond academia, the conference sought to transcend disciplinary silos and engage with a plurality of knowledge systems and approaches to transformation.
The event was attended by interdisciplinary and international audiences from more than 35 European countries, including professionals, educators, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and PhD students. With the presence of key stakeholders in relation to the topic of sUser project, it was of great importance to disseminate the project to wither international public.
Prof. Dr Jelena Ristić Trajković introduced the sUser project as a significant initiative in the field of education, especially from the aspect of interdisciplinary dynamics and innovative approaches. Her presentation was titled “Development of an Integrative and Agile Design Methodology for Addressing Society’s Complex Challenges in the Case of Sustainable Service Housing for Elderly: Introducing User-Driven Design and Environmental System Thinking” (Conference programme).
The event was attended by representatives from more than 35 European countries with more than 100 participants (interdisciplinary and international audience in technical sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities – professionals, educators, researchers, practitioners, policymakers and PhD students).
