Abstract
It has long been recognised that complex real-world problems cannot be solved by one discipline working alone. In response, over recent decades, within both the academic community and funders, there has been an increased call for research projects that integrate different academic disciplines and non-academic partners—within this work, we refer to this as transdisciplinary (TD) research. Although there is increased attention to TD research, the literature also recognises that there are challenges in bringing together a diverse group with different perspectives and ways of thinking. One of the ways that has been suggested to unite the different domains is through boundary objects—tools, objects, or documents that help to create a mutual understanding or framing. Within this presentation, we will share how the Made Smarter Innovation: Centre for People-Led Digitalisation (PLD) explored the use of a song as a means to increase the unity of its transdisciplinary community and to disseminate its research to the wider public. The presentation explains the method of co-creation through to the final performance of the song and evaluation. In conclusion it reflects on the increased demand from the funders to demonstrate public engagement and briefly explores the suitability of the metrics which have been chosen to evaluate the success of the initiative.
