Wicked problems affect students and faculty across all disciples. On March 21, 2019, the 2019 Nexus Interdisciplinary Conference, “wicked Problems and Interdisciplinary Solutions,” invites graduate students and faculty from across campus to share cutting edge research that aims to solve these unsolvable problems.
Our conference will create the rare opportunity for graduate students to learn from students and faculty outside their own discipline. Morning presenters will explore learning and innovative strategies gained from interdisciplinary and solutions-oriented projects. Afternoon speakers will share personal research failures and the lessons learned to help students embrace risk-taking and failing forward. Skill-building workshop sessions will provide students with practical skills to meet wicked problems head-on.
Lunch and coffee will be provided, and a post-conference social will be held at the Gallery Lounge, with one free drink offered to registered attendees.
Register or find out more through our UBC website and check out our Facebook page.
