Outcomes - Overcoming Barriers to Cross-Disciplinary Research
We found different barriers to cross-disciplinary research: cultural, personal, institutional and procedural. Solutions to these barriers were proposed by the workshop participants.
Workshop Outcomes
Outcomes - Preparing the roadmap: prioritising cross-disciplinary training needs with industry
In this workshop we recognised some of the barriers to establish industry-academia collaborations and how to promote interdisciplinarity in this context. Industry recruitment and the skills gap were also discussed.
Outcomes - “Creating & Nurturing Diverse Teams for Effective Biomedical Science"
PPI is crucial in research delivery. In this workshop we focussed on the lessons science can take from other sectors on how to work in teams with people from different backgrounds.
Outcomes - “Lessons from equality, diversity and inclusion: How might interdisciplinary research culture evolve and be strengthened?”
The report (PDF below) compiles the results of the workshop, which center on the challenges of EDI that must be taken into account when embracing interdisciplinary and collaborative ‘team science’, as well as potential strategies for enhancing and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. Additionally, it addresses the initiatives that can encourage inclusive attitudes and behaviors to foster the growth of a research environment that nurtures interdisciplinary researchers.
