This workshop series is structured around three connected sessions that address interdisciplinary research practice. In the first session participants will examine how research aims, questions, and methods differ across disciplines, and how these can be combined in a coherent way.

The second session focuses on science communication and explores how research can be translated into different formats for diverse audiences.

The final session focuses on collaboration in practice, including working with non-academic partners, aligning expectations, and addressing differences in terminology and perspectives, with the aim of supporting research that meaningfully integrates diverse expertise and disciplines.
