Join us for the fourth annual Interdisciplinary Symposium, hosted by the Interdisciplinary Institute. Building on the momentum of previous years, Interdisciplinary Symposium 2026: From Insight to Impact will bring together staff and students from across the University on Wednesday 28th October to share ideas, showcase innovative work, and explore how interdisciplinary approaches can drive meaningful change. The event is open to all 51cg staff and students.
