Coronavirus Pandemic Preparedness project
The overall goal of the Coronavirus Pandemic Preparedness (CPP) project is to learn from
the current pandemic to be better prepared for a future pandemic. As with many societal
challenges, such as poverty or climate change, pandemic preparedness is a wicked
problem: it involves multiple problems that compete and conflict with each other. Nearly ten
months into the pandemic, society still struggles with issues that remain unresolved and thus
re-emerge. That is why a disciplinary or even interdisciplinary approach does not suffice.
Instead, a truly transdisciplinary approach is required which not only transgresses the
boundaries between academic disciplines but also engages in mutual learning with societal
actors based on their knowledge and lived experiences.
