The Interdisciplinary Research Honor Society (IDR) is sponsoring the very first Interdisciplinary Day at the Inn at Virginia Tech.
Enjoy an evening of exciting discussions about transdisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. We will start with a talk by Dr. Paul Knox (University Distinguished Professor & Senior Fellow for International Advancement), entitled: Transdisciplinary Research: Wicked Problems and Zombie Institutions.
Then we will subdivide into groups and attempt to tackle modern-day wicked problems by using creativity and interdisciplinarity.
Dinner is provided. Registration is FREE but required (we have limited spots). Students, faculty and staff at Virginia Tech are encouraged to attend.
