X-Net workshops

X-Net facilitates workshops that focus on areas of interest for interdisciplinarians such as obstacles to crossing discisplines or industry and patient and public involvement (PPI).
X-Net Talks

X-Net organises a series of interviews with interdisciplinary researchers at different career stages, from very early career researchers to senior, well established group leaders. We discuss their particular journeys crossing disciplines, with the positives and the negatives intrinsic to this type of research, and their personal experiences.

We Are Writing A Roadmap About The Main Obstacles Faced By Interdisciplinarians

A central goal for X-Net is writing an evidence based policy roadmap to highlight to UK funding bodies the career and funding roadblocks that cross-disciplinary researchers face in the current academic research environment. This document will offer general recommendations to increase the retention and impact of cross-disciplinary researchers in the UK biomedical landscape.
