Abstract
The project addresses lack of transdisciplinary research in dealing with impacts of climate change on cultural
heritage in the Danube River Basin, which are not sufficiently understood by science and inadequately
treated by routine. Fostering mutual learning between lay public, policy-makers and scientists will lead to
an improved state of the art in science, to more effective policies and to a raised lay public’s awareness of
this real world problem. We aim to address these issues through 5 scientific cafés and the accompanying
events in 5 cities in the DRB, each of them hosting one transdisciplinary team. The main activities to promote
transdisciplinary research will include plenary discussions, facilitated by experts in communication,
following screenings of films or panel discussions. Excursions will also foster understanding of discussed
problems by representatives of all three involved groups. Transdisciplinary results will be disseminated
e.g. through scientific papers, publications for politicians, a film and permanent exhibitions for lay public.
