Breaking barriers in interdisciplinary collaboration

Interdisciplinary collaboration has many advantages like bringing and raising innovative questions. But interdisciplinarity also presents challenges. For example: how do we assess what we can learn from each other? At what point do we truly speak of interdisciplinarity? And how do we define impact? This session discusses successful experiences in interdisciplinary research and invites the audience to contribute their ideas.

Ready to step out of your academic comfort zone and see the world from a fresh perspective? Join us for an engaging session that dissolves the boundaries between Technical Sciences and the Social Sciences and Humanities. Expect lively discussions, unexpected viewpoints, and plenty of moments that will challenge the way you think about research collaboration.

Guided by Eveline van Rijswijk, we’ll kick off with inspiring insights from Jeffrey de Hoogen and Dr. ir. Jaime Hoogesteger. Then, we dive into a participatory adventure that encourages you to view scientific challenges through a different disciplinary lens. Whether you're a technical whiz or a humanities enthusiast, this session will stretch your imagination and spark ideas on how interdisciplinary research can drive societal transitions.
