Panel Discussion on Sharing Experiences Across Disciplines 21.09.2026

Panel discussion

We invite doctoral researchers, supervisors, and members of the research community to an afternoon dedicated to discussing how convergence has been experienced and implemented in practice across different research fields.

The Convergence of Humans and Machines project warmly invites doctoral researchers, supervisors, and members of the research community to an afternoon dedicated to discussing how convergence has been experienced and implemented in practice across different research fields.

The event will focus on the central idea of the project: bringing together diverse disciplines, perspectives, and methodologies to create new knowledge and research opportunities. Through a panel discussion and open conversation, participants will reflect on how convergent encounters have shaped their research, what has emerged from interdisciplinary collaboration, and how supervisory teams have addressed questions arising at the intersection of different fields.

This event offers an opportunity to exchange experiences, learn from colleagues, and discuss the opportunities and challenges of conducting research that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries.
