Too much research is done in narrow silos. This makes it particularly difficult for research to tackle real-world problems, which are by nature complex, and cut across disciplines and sectors. The compartmentalisation of research often clusters around different research methods in which people tend to specialise. This project aims to explore creative and innovative ways to bridge across methods in the bioosciences.

Annamaria was involved in facilitating a series of workshops to explore the space of interdisciplinarity, at the Bridging Methods and Models in the Biosciences conference; at FELASA, and at ESTIV.

Following on this work, she has also hosted a series of podcasts on reserachers experience of interdisciplinarity.

She was also involved with the fantastically successful CiAO project, acting as a member of the coordinating committee, and also conducting a reflective study of how interdisciplinarity was mediated by the AOP Framework. Read about how we built up a flourishing interdisciplinary community in Frontiers (the research publication), and in Issues in Science and Technology (the shorter version).
