This workshop is aimed at postgraduate researchers involved in designing,
managing and carrying out interdisciplinary research projects which span the
social and natural sciences. The workshop is open to any ESRC-funded PhD
students who are engaged in interdisciplinary research between the social
and natural sciences (including students who are funded via cross-council
initiatives such as the ESRC-NERC and ESRC-MRC joint studentships and
cross-council programmes such as RELU).

There will be no charge for this event, which will include accommodation and
meals, but attendees must be able to cover their own travel expenses.  The
meeting will run from Monday afternoon to Wednesday lunchtime. As places
will be limited to 25, participants are encouraged to register early for the
workshop.  This can be done online at
www.crfr.ac.uk/events/isstibooking.html .  Any queries can be directed to Dr
Catherine Lyall [log in to unmask]

At the end of the workshop we hope that students will have:

1.developed a better understanding of how to design an interdisciplinary PhD
project so that the social science and natural science inputs are
appropriate

2.discussed strategies for conducting that research that will enable them to
thrive in an interdisciplinary environment

3. gained a better idea of how to write up and disseminate an integrated
thesis/research report.

4 contributed to the production of a guide to supervising interdisciplinary
PhDs

Further details are available in the attached flyer - please circulate this
to anyone who might be interested and display it as a poster if you can.

This event is funded by the ESRC's Researcher Development Initiative (RDI)
which supports the training and development of researchers in the social
sciences at all stages of their career www.rdi.ac.uk <http://www.rdi.ac.uk/>
