Featuring a diverse panel of leading researchers and government advisors, chaired by Quentin Cooper, presenter of BBC Radio 4's The Material World, we will debate how the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of certain areas of science impacts on the potential career
paths of young scientists. Discussion topics will include issues that will be relevant from a careers perspective, such as funding opportunities, and research impact, as well as problems of knowledge management and balance between breadth and depth. We will also examine how interdisciplinarity can shape a scientific education, preparing students for research in areas that draw upon many different fields.
