The lowdown
Could you benefit from expertise outside your field? or even just outside the 3 people in your lab?
Curious Connections is a three-hour interdisciplinary event for UNSW Higher Degree Researchers to share research challenges, exchange perspectives and make useful connections across faculties.
Research can be deeply specialised, but the most useful insight sometimes comes from a friendly conversation with someone who approaches the world differently.
Bring a research question, challenge or idea, or come ready to offer a fresh perspective. Don’t have a question? You might have the answer.
During the session, you will:
• Meet HDRs from faculties and disciplines beyond your own
• Share and explore real research challenges
• Work in small interdisciplinary groups
• Switch groups to gain fresh perspectives
• Discover useful methods, connections and possible next steps
No presentation or polished solution is required. You do not need to be an expert in another field, just bring something you are curious about and be open to seeing it differently.
This event is designed for HDRs at any stage of their journey.
This is a pilot event, so your participation will help shape what future Curious Connections events could look like. This event is a new collaboration between GRS and UNSW Founders.
The final 40 minutes will be dedicated to informal networking over refreshments.
Bring a question. Meet a different perspective. Find a new direction.
This event is run in-collaboration between GRS and UNSW Founders.
