Integrating SSH elements into collaborative research projects has, to an increasing extent, become a deal-breaker in large research grant programs. Grand challenges require collaborative and integrative solutions, the argument goes. However, the SSH-label covers a huge diversity of topical, analytical and methodological traditions, and identifying the right SSH collaborator to advance your research idea can be a challenge.

In this webinar, Professor Heather Swanson and researcher Daniel Kardyb, both from the faculty of Arts, dive into the diversity of SSH research with the aim to shed light on defining differences and nuances. The guiding idea behind the webinar is that nuanced understandings of SSH can help you develop project ideas into concrete, detailed and unique applications – and thus make the project stand out. In the webinar, we explore SSH diversity and discuss how to select and integrate SSH into your work-package design. Moreover, you might learn about less commonly considered corners of SSH that could provide better fit for your specific project and add the novelty to win you competitive advantage.

Who is this relevant for? Researchers from the natural and technical sciences, curious to advance their research journey into the realms of interdisciplinarity.

What will you get out of it? A better grasp of the diversities of SSH, a better grasp of possibilities for SSH integration in interdisciplinary projects, and ideas for next applications.

Where and when? The webinar is hosted online on June 17th from 10:00-11:30.
