The paper presents a characterization of trans-disciplinary research and sustainability science and education, and argues for its necessity in addition to traditional forms of knowledge production. A short analysis on the obstacles met within the academic community for those working in trans-disciplinary research and education in an often rather conservative environment is also made. Finally, some examples are given, and conclusions on the implementation of integrative, trans-disciplinary research and sustainability science against the background of freedom of teaching and research will be drawn.
