A research and innovation forum on “Cultivating Interdisciplinary Research” will take place October 11 from 11:15 a.m.-1 p.m. at Talley Student Union, Hatteras/Ocracoke Ballrooms. 

James Cooper, Richard Kuhn, and Ali Shakouri from Purdue University, who have extensive experience in building and managing interdisciplinary research programs and buildings, will share their insights and discuss best practices. This portion of the day-long forum is open to all faculty and will use NC State’s Plant Sciences Initiative and Purdue’s Discovery Park as case studies for the discussion. Vice Chancellor Alan Rebar will facilitate the discussions and the Q and A. The session will be live-streamed.
