This ARC funded Sydney Nano Catalyst project aims to create a strong integrative research foundation to explain how university researchers and students develop the expertise needed to work in interdisciplinary teams and how this development can be enhanced. It combines three perspectives investigating:
- how research and innovation communities create interdisciplinary knowledge;
- how interdisciplinary teams learn to function effectively; and
- the personal resourcefulness that enables individuals to participate in interdisciplinary work.
The outcomes are providing a much better understanding of the qualities that help individuals and groups to work productively across disciplinary boundaries. They will used to create better strategies for supporting interdisciplinary learning.
