About INATE: The highly complex problems of today spawned by rapid global changes evolve too fast for us to adapt to such changes effectively. Their inter-connectedness requires a holistic transdisciplinary approach that brings all stakeholders together, including the academe, local government units, NGOs and communities, to foster rapid feed backs and effective exchange of knowledge and experiences that will enable efficient formulation of sustainable solutions. Transforming conventional project planning to transdisciplinary project design and implementation requires new research on collective solution identification, program design and implementation. This calls for a new type of education and training that promotes transdisciplinary actions. The International Network for Advancing Transdisciplinary Education (INATE) was established in 15^th March 2015 during the World Disaster Risk Reduction Conference to address these issues collectively.
