In this workshop, we start with the building blocks of research de concepts, data collection methods, data analysis methods, case studies, etc.) and explore to put together these building blocks in different research designs. We consider how appro research aims, and create challenges and opportunities for knowledge integration. We also practice, and reflect on the risks and difficulties of doing interdisciplinarity, includin to collaboration and team management.Programme description: By the end of this workshop, postdocs will be able to • Recognise and identify core building blocks of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary r • Design interdisciplinary research that mixes methods and disciplines, from simple to com • Identify and manage common challenges in interdisciplinary research in practice. Workshop approach This workshop includes a range of teaching approaches, and relies on the participants bein participating in discussions. Lecturing is used only to create core understandings of key used.
