The study course is designed as a think tank, with the aim to provide the participants with the opportunity to create a research environment and to develop a research project in cooperation with lecturers and social partners. The scaffolding process will allow students from various disciplines of education to become aware of the possibilities of integrating different research designs into educational research and to delve into the essence of evaluation and participatory action research designs. It will allow doctoral students to assess their current vision of educational problems and to identify ways to transform education considering the principles of sustainability, as well as to develop skills in conducting action research and/or evaluation research to address a complex topical educational issue. The course focuses on establishing and developing students’ understanding of transdisciplinarity, complexity, and sustainable education, as well as their interaction in the Anthropocene
