Gaining Research Funding: An interdisciplinary perspective

Event details

Many funding bodies request that applicants adopt an interdisciplinary perspective. This is because some challenges cannot be resolved by a single organisation or from one sectoral or disciplinary perspective. Typically, such challenges cut across a number of disciplines, requiring the capacity to think across and between as well as within disciplines and thematic areas.

In this workshop, we draw on the insight of leading scholars to formulate questions and answers to pressing issues arising from inter- disciplinary research in order to:

Facilitate reflection on why an interdisciplinary lens has value for your research
Reflect on how inter-disciplinary research can help deliver benefits and address significant societal and economic challenges
Foster understanding about strategies to work across disciplines in achieving your research goals.
