Lessons from the Field 2026: Perspectives on Catalyzing Convergence in GCR Phase II
Wednesday, April 15, 3-4:30 p.m. EDT
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 U.S. National Science Foundation Growing Convergence Research program to share their insights on convergence and how it has manifested in their own projects.
