Possibilities, challenges & opportunities when engaging in cross-cutting research collaborations
Are you also dreaming of warm summer days filled with inspiring discussions on inter-, multi- and cross-disciplinary research? Then don’t miss out on CIRCUS’ Interdisciplinary Summer School 2022!
We at CIRCUS offer an enriching three-day school where participants will have the opportunity to further develop their skills in cross-disciplinary collaborations.
Who is this summer school aimed at?
Employees at Uppsala University: From senior PhD students, junior researchers and seasoned tenured lecturers and professors. The Vice-Chancellor would also be warmly welcome.
There is room for 22 participants. We aim to have a mixed group of different disciplines, genders, seniorities and different national and international research backgrounds. We will, in case of oversubscription, favour early submissions while also striving for a fruitful diversity.

Aim of the summer school:
- To provide opportunities for capacity-building regarding different kinds of cross-cutting research.
- To provide a thorough orientation about the literature on different forms of interdisciplinarity as well as some ‘hands-on’ experience.
- 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.
- Summer school faculty is from UU as well as other universities.
We hope to see you at CIRCUS’ Interdisciplinary Summer School 2022!
