Inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration is currently being celebrated in academic and professional media. The complexity and dynamicity of the scientific, technological, and societal problems generated by the coronavirus pandemic require an inter- and transdisciplinary approach. At the same time, our teaching, learning, and research is itself affected by the corona measures taken by our universities now that classes and seminars have been moved to online platforms. The National Interdisciplinary Education (NIE) Conference team facilitates exchange about our current situation by organizing a series of online meetups, seminars, and webinars.
The first event in the series consists of two parallel sessions of 50 minutes each.

The National Interdisciplinary Education (NIE) Conference is an annual event for educators, researchers, policy makers, and students who are active in inter- and transdisciplinary programmes at Dutch universities, university colleges, and universities of applied science. We want to stay in touch and grow as a community of inter- and transdisciplinarians, and to exchange best practices and ideas. We therefore hereby announce a series of online meetups and seminars. We will meet approx. four times during the academic year.
