IAS workshops are typically one day in length and topics should be cross-disciplinary, bringing together expertise from across the breadth of our University.
Below are details of our upcoming workshops which aim to explore cutting-edge issues in research through cross-departmental collaboration.
If you are interested in attending any of the below events, please contact Lauren Rawlins.

- Description
- The ICA seeks to create a global network of future research leaders by constructing an arena in which the very best early/mid-career scholars will work together on paradigm-shifting cross-disciplinary research, mentored by some of the most eminent researchers from across the globe. This immersive and intense experience is expected to transform the scholar's own approach to research, enhance their awareness of the work, relevance and potential impact of other disciplines, and to inspire and facilitate new collaborations between distant disciplines; our aim is to make a real, yet volatile, intellectual cocktail that leads to meaningful outputs.
