Each discipline has its own lens on the world. Grow your skills in bringing these disciplines together.

Overview

The need for interdisciplinary research is growing. As a research development professional (RDP), figuring out how to bring partners across disciplines together to fuel creativity and collaboration is tricky. You’re managing tensions around roles and credit, and you’re helping to translate between researchers who may value very different things.

Join us online to learn and discuss five key skills for research development professionals seeking to build bridges across disciplines. New RDPs will leave with an overview of what it means to facilitate interdisciplinary research, and seasoned RDPs who’ve learned through trial and error will leave with more clarity on how to formalize efforts.

Who should attend?
