The second of two articles on fostering valuable interdisciplinary collaborations
Last week, in my first look into what can be done to encourage more and better interdisciplinary research, I asked why we would want to foster interdisciplinarity in the first place and discussed some easy-to-make mistakes when we act to do so.
In this second article, I’ll make some positive suggestions for interdisciplinary events, and finish with a few thoughts about long-term, people-based solutions to interdisciplinary challenges.
