Report on Interdisciplinary booster sessions

Report from 6 Interdisciplinary booster sessions, lasting half day each, organized in conjunction of the project meetings. The first Interdisciplinary booster session will present principles and best practices on how to conduct an interdisciplinary research. It will be very useful to create and stimulate the pre-requisite for interdisciplinarity and to:•identify common and clear goals, objectives, outcomes, and consensus among team members regarding their collaborative priorities;•define a common scientific language and all the relevant key words from the various disciplines involved.The other Interdisciplinary booster sessions will boost communication and integration among researchers, also by using innovative methodologies (e.g. speed dating, role-playing games). These activities will also benefit from the expertise of Metaforum (think tank of KUL with the aim to stimulate interdisciplinarity) as well as the expertise of UNIMC of SSH disciplines.
