Aspects of Interdisciplinarity

In the current research environment, interdisciplinarity is becoming increasingly important and it plays a still more significant role in the discussion about how we should conduct research today - but what is interdisciplinarity? How can it be applied? And what is the gain?

These are some of the questions which we will seek to address at this seminar on the various aspects of interdisciplinarity. In collaboration with the Danish National Foundation's Centre for Textile Research, the Humanomics Research Centre has invited a series of scholars to present their current work in the interdisciplinary field and to discuss the application of interdisciplinary research.

We hope you will join us.
