Welcome to an inspiring day about interdisciplinary research and education at SLU. During this first part of the day, the thematic groups from Interdisciplinary Academy 22/23 present their projects and finding.

Interdisciplinary Academy is an interdisciplinary initiative at SLU, aiming to increase knowledge about interdisciplinary working methods throughout SLU. The core of IDA is interdisciplinary research groups who, during eight months, set aside twenty percent of their position to work together on complex issues and explore interdisciplinary working methods.

The first round of IDA started in the fall of 2022 and on September 5, the first year's two thematic groups present their respective projects and findings, during a full day that highlights the role of interdisciplinary research and education at SLU.
