Research Roundtable - Interdisciplinary Exchange for Utah Science

Goals:

To foster new collaboration and research teams across campus, NEXUS hosts interdisciplinary Research Roundtables that center around a topic that is of interest to a broad range of disciplines.

Research Roundtables are supported by the Vice President for Research and the Office of Foundation Relations and hosted by NEXUS. These events are meant to:

1. Catalyze faculty exploration of interdisciplinary research topics;
2. Discuss strategies to advance research ideas; and
3. Explore potential federal and non-federal funders for interdisciplinary research.
