Interdisciplinarity & Catalysing Collaboration

About This Webinar

These days the world seems more uncertain than ever and addressing complex global problems in local ways is no easy feat. 'Interdisciplinarity' is fast becoming recognised as a vital element for going toe-to-toe with complex problems and providing sophisticated responses. But reaching the effective interdisciplinary cooperation requires thoughtful facilitation, oppenness and reflection between co-workers, researchers, and those who work in the public and private sectors. In this webinar we will hear stories from professionals who will share their experiences dealing with collaboration and interdisciplinarity within the broad field of sustainable development and sustainable cities. We hope everyone will learn something new and implement it in their own ways in their community!
