Our motives and aims
Background 1. Cross-disciplinary, cross-
faculty education is at the core of the CPC’s education mission
2. The University plans to embed interdisciplinary learning across the curriculum
3. Avoiding interdisciplinarity silos
4. Building research capacity
Building on collective “know how”1. To share insights from recent
research and teaching
Thinking about practical actions2. What can help the rest of the
University in this space?3. Is there sufficient interest to
collaborate in educational R&D?
How to get to grips with interdisciplinary teaching and learning?
