Interdisciplinarity &: 2026 Series - Harnessing Storytelling to Amplify Research
How can we ensure our interdisciplinary research creates real-world benefits?
At The University of Manchester, we recognise that transformative research requires not just technical expertise, but also strong collaborations across disciplines and authentic engagement with communities.
This workshop explores how we can co-create research narratives with diverse partners, forge lasting interdisciplinary relationships, and employ compelling storytelling to communicate the significance and societal value of our work. Drawing on real-world examples and shared experiences, we will identify practical strategies to measure, amplify, and sustain the reach and influence of research beyond traditional academic boundaries.
Join us to discover how your research can break silos, connect with multiple disciplines, and truly benefit the wider world.
Objectives
· Explain the societal value and ethical considerations of research.
· Create compelling narratives for non-specialist and cross-disciplinary audiences.
· Boost public engagement and foster interdisciplinary collaboration.
