This 2 day conference will be strongly interactive, with the emphasis on sharing experiences of working in an interdisciplinary context. This inaugural event aspires to create a dynamic network of sustainability researchers across Scotland, providing a space for knowledge exchange and research collaboration. A number of delegates will be presenting on their work to enable everyone that attends to appreciate the diversity of sustainability research in Scotland. There will also be a poster session and a series of workshops that will address:

i) Learning from experience
These sessions will identify best practice by drawing on experience of participants who have undertaken interdisciplinary projects; sessions will consist of selected talks submitted by participants.

ii) Finding solutions to problems of integration: the ‘Interdisciplinary Research Clinic’
These sessions will provide a forum for participants to offer ‘problems’ within their projects which then get considered by peer groups to collaboratively find solutions.

The registration form allows you to provide us with a short outline of your research should you wish for us to circulate it as part of the conference handbook. Please do take the time to fill this out and be assured that the information you provide us with will be handled in line with the University of St Andrews' Data Protection Policy.
