The 'That's Not Real Research!' series aims to break down the perceived barriers between research disciplines, fostering a sustainable and diverse PGR community. At each session, you'll hear different PhD perspectives from our Interdisciplinary Fellows and Directors, highlighting their personal experiences and differing approaches to research.
The 'That's Not Real Research!' series aims to break down the perceived barriers between research disciplines, fostering a sustainable and diverse PGR community. At each session, you'll hear different PhD perspectives from our Interdisciplinary Fellows and Directors, highlighting their personal experiences and differing approaches to research. This series is open to all PGRs across the University of Aberdeen, regardless of field or stage in their research journey.
We all recognise the power of connecting research from different fields to advance knowledge and create groundbreaking discoveries. But when research areas seem worlds apart, how can such connections be made?
These sessions tackle the unexpected head-on! Bringing together specialists from across the university, we’ll explore how seemingly unconnected disciplines can unite to address society’s most pressing challenges.
Our Interdisciplinary Fellows and Directors will share their fascinating postgraduate research journeys, demonstrating how their seemingly distinct fields converge in unexpected and transformative ways to break down barriers, build bridges across diverse research disciplines, and make significant contributions to cutting edge research. They’ll share how interdisciplinary collaborations propelled them to become leading researchers in their fields, offering valuable insights, practical strategies and actionable advice for you to do the same.
Join us for the inaugural series of ‘That’s Not Real Research’ to:
- Gain insights into interdisciplinary research practices.
- Build a community with PGRs from diverse research fields
- Ask anything—from “What is Mineral Evolution?” to “How can I communicate my research to other fields?’
Sessions are open to all postgraduate research students from all areas with hybrid options for all sessions. Book your place via the Course Booking system linked below.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired, informed, and equipped to push the boundaries of your research.
