The four days of intensive work on TD methodologies and research experiences should be critically reflected upon. For this purpose, this time slot serves to prepare the sub-sequent world café by opening the floor via a 20 minutes panel discussion and an associated open round. From the issues raised in this session, topics can be identified that are discussed in more detail at specific tables in the world café. Special emphasis is given to the role of TD research in the context of inevitable disciplinary science.
