Integration of knowledge and ideas in reality is increasingly becoming relevant as the call for transdisciplinary gains momentum in recent times especially in the face of many global changes. The search for long-term, sustainable solutions ought to be multidisciplinary in nature so as to provide transformative changes, rather than an incremental and linear alternative. For example, the severity of the climate crisis demands a change in the conventional framework to one that is more impactful with a radical outcome. Open innovative approaches that cover beyond technological outcomes to enable social, communal and institutional dimensions are imperative for a success sustainable change as the real-world drivers in the transformational process. This means the need for an integration of knowledge and ideas through both multi- and transdisciplinary approaches are crucial in delivering the oft quoted goal of “no one left behind” – an global objective in embracing the overarching goal for humanity as depicted in 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
