For researchers interested in interdisciplinary collaborations, it can be challenging to find meaningful starting points for conversations with colleagues from other fields, especially when working on different topics or projects. In this workshop, we will delve into various approaches for initiating research collaborations. As a benefit, you will acquire practical thinking tools for identifying research connections. We will also address some of the typical challenges that can arise when connections are explored or investigated in joint research.
