Interdisciplinary opportunities, practices and challenges – an exploratory seminar series
The aim of the seminar series is to expand our collaborative understanding of different aspects of performing interdisciplinary research. The series is meant to be a collectively maintained venue for discussing the practices, challenges, and opportunities of cross-disciplinary research endeavours.
The series has several running themes where you can choose to follow all of the seminars or a theme of your choice.
Practices and skills: seminars designed to discuss various skill-sets and practices specific to working in interdisciplinary contexts. Topics include collaborative writing, seminar cultures, publishing strategies, developing research ideas and grant applications etc.
Career: seminars designed for early-career researchers who are already working across disciplines or who are interested in initiating interdisciplinary research. Topics include career paths, challenges in switching disciplines, professional identity and self-image etc.
Leadership: seminars designed for principal investigators, project leaders and participants in interdisciplinary collaborative projects. Topics include challenges and practices in leading a cross-disciplinary research group, designing and developing group cohesion, etc.
