Webinars
Shaping Conversations on Interdisciplinary Research
The SHAPE-ID webinar series ran from May 2020 to March 2021 and was intended to engage a wider audience in discussions around the integration of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences in inter- and transdisciplinary research. Some of these events staged broader conversations, with invited panellists from the SHAPE-ID community, consortium and Expert Panel. Others focused on SHAPE-ID project results and on how to increase the uptake of recommendations from the project. Webinars took the form of short presentations from panellists followed by an interactive Q&A session with the Zoom audience, and were also live-streamed on the SHAPE-ID Facebook page.
