ABSTRACT
Abstract Transdisciplinary research (TDR) collaborations are considered effective when they yield relevant results for science and practice. In this context, the different expectations, experiences, skills, disciplines of team members involved determine TDR collaboration. Using example 13 in 3-year project ‘Römerland Carnuntum 2040’ (Austria), we aim to identify compare diverse expectations regarding doing so, question often emphasised dichotomy between practice as main challenge collaboration towards making individual visible tangible. The contribution present paper is twofold: on one hand, provide statements a formative assessment externalise implicit assumptions, epistemologies results. On other Q-methodology viable approach uncover diverging viewpoints visible, tangible, enunciable differences that need be acknowledged early stages projects allocating resources planning further steps. Our investigations result two viewpoints: emphasises learning, collective reflection, knowledge exchange expectation. second focuses ‘changing practices’, assuming supports introduction new practices (sustainable) regional development. These reveal subconscious tensions, which have addressed defining success within project.
