When this is attempted, there are often differences that are extremely difficult to overcome. However, some are able to prevail in interdisciplinary collaboration and attain great results. In fact, these results are often better than those achieved through single discipline work. During the Interdisciplinary Collaboration Workshop we will tap into the experience of several expert panelists in order to elicit important techniques in succeeding in interdisciplinary collaboration. |
