In this session, we will debate on the role of collaboration & multidisciplinarity in science and how it shall be pursued in the future when imagining a colourful, wonderful future for science.

  • How important is collaboration to the quality of our output?
  • What is the golden cut / compromise on variety of themes and disciplines in an institution?
  • What are good examples / best practice?
  • What needs to change?
