Lessons from the Field 2025: Perspectives on Catalyzing Convergence in GCR Phase II
Thursday, June 26, 2025 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM (ET)
Synopsis
Join us as we discuss some of the challenges and benefits of working on deeply integrated cross-disciplinary projects. We have assembled a panel of investigators who have led successful projects funded by the NSF Growing Convergence Research program to share their insights on convergence and how it has manifested in their own projects.
