Catalyzing Interdisciplinary Encounters
STRATEGIC RECOMMENDATION
Catalyze interdisciplinary encounters among faculty, staff, students and alumni.
CMU has a long tradition of interdisciplinary innovation resulting from bottom-up collaborations among colleagues, with new ideas often resulting from informal interactions. CMU will:
- Create conditions on campus that promote more interactions to build such serendipitous connections and strengthen interdisciplinary encounters.
- Invest in programs and events at all levels including those by the provost, vice president for research, deans, and others that foster meaningful bottom-up collaborations among faculty, staff, students and alumni.
- Develop communication mechanisms for faculty, staff and students to share interests, and promote shared research opportunities and creative endeavors.
