Aim of the summer school: 

To provide opportunities for capacity-building regarding different kinds of cross-cutting research.

To examine the possibilities, challenges and opportunities that come with research collaborations across disciplinary boundaries. 

Learning objectives:

Scholarship: Participants should be able to describe the key concepts used in discussions about interdisciplinarity and summarize some broad tenets of key literature within cross-cutting research.

Practice: Participants should be able to relate common challenges in cross-disciplinary research to tools and practices that can address these challenges.

Format: 

- Lectures/seminars discussing relevant research on the aforementioned topics. 
- Practice-oriented and interactive workshops.
- Language: Flexible with Swedish when possible, English when necessary.
- Single and parallel sessions.
