| الوصف: | In transdisciplinary sustainability, scientists take responsibility for the long-term impact they have on practitioners in the research field and beyond. However, the duration of a career and amounts of funding are finite. One way out is to perform a responsible exit from the field. This study extracts lessons to realizing researchers’ responsible exit from their field through detailed description of the experiences of two researchers and a practitioner in collaboration in transdisciplinary research, weaving together the perspectives of all parties. The following lessons were extracted: (1) Imagining the extent of mutual understanding, (2) Production of knowledge entrusted to practitioners, and (3) Researchers’ acceptance of being unneeded. This study does not claim that these approaches are universally effective. We suggest that the reader transfer this case study and its approaches to his or her own case to seek better relationships. The validity of this qualitative study's suggestions should be tested by readers. Non-Technical Summary In the discipline of transdisciplinary sustainability, researchers must responsibly manage their impact on their partner practitioners. Balancing this with limited career durations and limited research funds is challenging. One potential solution involves responsibly exiting from the research field. This study investigates the experience of two researchers and a practitioner in collaborative transdisciplinary research. The lessons include acknowledging researchers’ amateurism, anticipating the challenges in achieving mutual understanding, and embracing researchers’ acceptance of feeling unneeded. The universality of these principles should be investigated in the future research. This research encourages readers to apply these principles to their own cases to develop better relationship between researchers and practitioners that leave no seeds of misfortune.
