1 November 2006 - 31 October 2009
A new grant under the ESRC’s Researcher Development Initiative (RDI) aims to improve the practice of interdisciplinary research between the social and natural sciences.
Drawing on ISSTI’s extensive experience in interdisciplinary research practice, Catherine Lyall and colleagues will be seeking to formalise and codify researchers’ approach to the promotion, management and evaluation of interdisciplinary research and to share this knowledge with the wider ESRC research community. A range of masterclasses will be developed with two distinct targets, aimed towards (i) post-doctoral researchers, giving them the tools they require to lead successful interdisciplinary project teams and (ii) towards graduate students embarking on interdisciplinary projects for the first time, as well as producing a handbook for conducting interdisciplinary research.
