​​​Course description

​

Learn how to build high-performing interdisciplinary teams with a researcher who has led tens of interdisciplinary teams in projects worth many millions, that have led to internationally important impacts. This highly interactive session challenges conventional wisdom, which focuses on research interests and skills but leads to highly qualified but ultimately dysfunctional teams. Instead, consider the deep dynamics of interdisciplinary team building, considering how personalities, ways of knowing (“epistemologies”) and values interact to produce teams of people who work effectively and enjoyably together. As part of the session, you will receive an electronic copy of the second edition of The Research Impact Handbook.
