| An exploration of experiences of transdisciplinary research in aging and technologyAbstract: Transdisciplinary research (TDR) involves academics/scientists collaborating with stakeholders from diverse disciplinary and sectoral backgrounds. While TDR has been recognized as beneficial in generating innovative solutions to complex social problems, knowledge is limited about researchers' perceptions and experiences of TDR in the aging and technology field. We conducted a qualitative study to address this knowledge gap by exploring how members of a pan-Canadian research network on aging and technology perceived and experienced TDR. Thirty members participated in semi-structured interviews. Interview data were analyzed thematically. Participants identified benefits that can be gained from implementing TDR, including mutual learning, improved capacity to understand and solve problems, and community engagement and empowerment. Participants also identified challenges to implementing TDR: communication issues and conflicting priorities among team members; tensions between traditional and TDR approaches; and difficulties identifying partners and developing partnerships. In addition, contradictions between TDR principles and participants' understanding of them became apparent. Nevertheless, some participants described successful strategies for implementing transdisciplinary principles in their projects: stakeholder engagement; language and goal sharing; and open, respectful communication. We offer recommendations to support TDR in aging and technology that focus on education and reform of the culture and values that can constrain efforts to practice TDR.

| TicTacTDR: A digital educational game about transdisciplinary researchThis Drinks N’ Demos exhibition at AGE-WELL’s 4th Annual Conference (Vancouver, BC) showcased a new digital educational game developed by the CC3 Transdiscplinary Working team in collaboration with WP4. Entitled “TicTacTDR”, this is a trivia-based game that supports multi-player engagement and enhances learning about and implementation of transdisciplinary research (TDR). Created specifically for AGE-WELL members, it is a great resource for individual learning or as part of training sessions and stakeholder engagement events. This game will be demonstrated during the Drinks N’ Demos session and the CC3 team members will be available to answer any questions and provide guidance on the applications of its use.

| Co-creating project lay summaries with stakeholdersFunding bodies are increasingly requesting lay-summaries for research proposals to communicate the projects’ real-world relevance to the public. Many researchers find this difficult because they generally write for fellow subject specialists or academics. The Transdisciplinary Working (CC3) team therefore organized two lay-summary co-creation workshops for the AGE-WELL network. These workshops were designed to help researchers co-develop their project lay-summaries with stakeholders; and to develop guidelines for lay-summary co-creation for AGE-WELL researchers. Our poster presents the co-creation protocol and feedback from the researchers and other stakeholders about their experiences with the co-creation process. Following an analysis of the workshops, we developed a set of guidelines that suggest 1) stakeholders need to be informed about the goals and expectations of the co-creation process; and 2) facilitators need to be skilled enough to navigate the negotiation process and subsequently integrate stakeholders’ and researchers’ perspectives into the lay-summary of a project.
