Abstract
The DataWorkplace is a transdisciplinary research collaboration between Utrecht University and a group of local and regional government organizations in the Netherlands. Its goal is to investigate and to support the digital
transformation of public management in local and regional government organizations. The transdisciplinary quality of the DataWorkplace manifests in its hands-on, participation-intensive style of collaborative research; academic researchers and practitioners from local and regional government organizations collaborate on an equal basis while exploring pressing research questions together. This chapter presents outcomes of this ongoing cooperation and discusses the benefits and challenges of engaging in transdisciplinary work for academics, practitioners, networked collaborators, and society at large.
