Tricks of the trade: ideas for generating interdisciplinary research

Friday, 23 February 2018
10am-12pm

Convened and presented by Sir Alan Wilson, Chief Executive, The Alan Turing Institute / Professor of Urban & Regional Systems, Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, Bartlett
Venue: Office of the Vice Provost (Research), 2 Taviton Street, UCL, WC1H 0BT

The challenges facing researchers are increasingly interdisciplinary. In this talk, Alan Wilson will present a view of the foundations of research planning which will support originality and ambition within interdisciplinary frameworks. He will discuss both basic and applied research (‘real challenges’) and will introduce the idea of super concepts that cross disciplines. Above all, he will argue that ‘thinking outside the box’ can generate new ideas and open up new territories.
