Not meeting in the middle: finding common ground in interdisciplinary collaborations

Join us for an engaging workshop led by CUCo during the “Doing Interdisciplinary Research” event as presented by Onderzoeksthema Dynamics of Youth (Universiteit Utrecht) and UMC Utrecht Child Health.

This day is focusing on a journey through doing interdisciplinary research: it is all about the transformation that comes from working together and learning by doing.  CUCo’s workshop will take place in the afternoon. Focus of the workshop is finding common ground. However, where do you meet? In this workshop we depart from the premise that it’s not about meeting in the middle. Rather, it’s about finding the creative tension between perspectives. Curious to explore what’s needed to make interdisciplinary collaboration spark? Join us for this learning-by-doing workshop!

For whom?
Researchers from various scientific disciplines that are interested in interdisciplinarity research. The focus of the keynotes will be on examples from interdisciplinary youth research.
