Our new interdisciplinary research webinar series – Research Futures
The extraordinary circumstances we currently face call for renewed research and thinking. Interdisciplinary research is particularly relevant to address the pressing issues of our time and reflect upon pathways for the future. This intellectual journey is key to the development of our own scholarships as much as it is to the evolution of our University.
The Research Futures webinar series will trigger and further this dialogue between disciplines, facilitate interaction while in isolation, support our researchers' projects, and create fruitful conversations.
The webinars take place on Wednesdays 2.00pm – 3.00pm. Everyone is welcome to join. You can watch the webinar recordings by selecting the topics that interest you below.
