December 12, 2024: Convergence Research and Complex Science.
Despite the growing call for interdisciplinary collaborative science, the field of team science is still evolving and the facilitators and barriers to interdisciplinary integration are still being elucidated. Convergence research is situated in solving complex problems through the intentional integration of diverse perspectives to achieve meaningful change. This seminar series will discuss various perspectives and approaches towards conducting convergence research.
