Symposium i anledning 100-årsdagen for Knut Erik Tranøys fødsel.
Interdisciplinary research within the life sciences is in demand, and more and more funding bodies requires collaboration among researchers from different disciplines. However, many reserachers find it hard to create truly interdisciplinary project which can create new areas of knowledge and new opportunities. In this panel conversation, the Sciences Studies Colloquium aims to promote a practical discussion on how to proceed if one wants to create good and truly interdisciplinary projects. We have invited four of the interdisciplinary projects that were selected to be Convergence Environments in the last call to tell about their process.
What does responsible research within the Life Sciences mean today, and how can the human and social sciences contribute in this discussion? The Science Studies Colloquium arranges a panel debate, open for everyone, aiming at discussing these questions.
