Building Research InterDisciplinary Groups through E-conferences Upcoming Event: Dance and Dialogues
With 7 major events, the socialBRIDGES e-conferences are now hosted by TU Dresden.
The upcoming event in the socialBRIDGES series is organized by Merle Fairhurst (TU Dresden), Valentina Cazzato (Liverpool John Moores University, University of Messina) and Marieke van Vugt (University of Groningen) and aims to challenge its participants to cross disciplinary boundaries by creating a bridge between the performing arts and science. With keynote and short talks, an interactive panel discussion and a live dance demo, it will bring together artists as well as researchers from different fields.
Watch out this space for more details on the exciting Programme and amazing speakers (coming soon!) of the next event: Dance and Dialogues.
And until then, you can catch up on our previous event on our socialBRIDGES YouTube channel accessible through our socialBRIDGES archive.
Building Research InterDisciplinary Groups through E-conferences
With non-essential travel limited both due to the associated carbon cost and the risk of Coronavirus transmission, we stand at an impasse. Conferences may seem like a thing of the past. This challenge offers us a unique opportunity to rethink how we as a community wish to gather and discuss our common interests. With BRIDGES (Building Research InterDisciplinary Groups through E-conferences), we propose a solution that makes use of the available technology, so that we can meet as a community but without the restrictions of disciplinary or geographical boundaries. In doing so, we hope to:
• Promote interdisciplinary exchange (free & unrestricted registration to audit)
• Facilitate new collaborations (themed workshops)
• Train young researchers (elevator pitch style poster competitions with prizes & feedback)
• Ensure quick turnaround of ideas and results (short interval between call & conference)
