Abstract How to bridge between natural and social sciences? An analysis of three approaches to transdisciplinary from the Swiss and German field of environmental research. There is a strong tendency in Swiss environmental research to conceive of transdisciplinary as if it would mean nothing but science bridging to society by addressing societal concerns. In contrast, an analysis of the recent discussion on transdisciplinarity shows, that the term includes at least five constitutive features: transdisciplinary research accordingly is problem-oriented, beyond disciplinarity, practice-oriented, participatory and process-oriented. To elaborate one of those features - to go beyond disciplinarity - three recent transdisciplinarity research methods are studied: ‘Earth System’ Analysis, the History of Matter and Goods and Synoikos. The aim is to illuminate the way in which researchers from the natural and social sciences collaborate and to learn about the intertwining of different disciplinary epistemologies. The encountered forms of collaboration are characterised as master-servant, deadlock, give-and-take and new-commonality. These forms of collaboration are further distinguished by applying boundary concepts from the social studies of science.
