Conducting Interdisciplinary Research Workshop

Monday 18th June 2012
10:00-13:00 (including lunch from 12:30)
Teaching Grid, 2nd Floor, Library

This event has been designed to provide attendees with first-hand knowledge for conducting collaborative research by giving them the chance to listen to, and interact with, more experienced members of academic staff who have conducted these kinds of research projects. The main points that presenters will address are the benefits of collaboration as they perceive them to be, how to effectively operationalize collaborative research with people from other disciplines, what the challenges are and how to overcome them.

This event will be interactive in style and attendees will therefore get a chance to ask their more experienced colleagues the questions about the issues that are most relevant to them.

The event is aimed at researchers from Social Sciences and other faculties, with the focus being on researchers from Social Science. The term ‘researcher’ here is being used in its broadest sense. So as well as Post-Docs and early career researchers we want also to attract the attention of more senior academic colleagues who have not had the experience of working collaboratively with someone from another discipline but are thinking of doing so.

Register for the event
