LERU Report Roundtable: SHAPE-ID Webinar

A webinar on the LERU Report featuring Prof Jane Ohlmeyer (TCD, Prof Didier Wernli (University of Geneva), Dr Nicola Francesco Dotti (Science Europe) and Dr Kimberly Couvson-Liebe (DLR Project Management Agency) organised by SHAPE-ID, a research project hosted by the Trinity Long Room Hub. LERU (the League of European Research Universities) recently launched its report “Implementing interdisciplinarity in research-intensive universities: good practices and challenges”. This 2023 report is an important update to LERU’s seminal 2016 report “Interdisciplinarity and the 21st Century Research Intensive University” whose findings have been referenced worldwide. SHAPE-ID was delighted to work with the main author, Professor Didier Wernli, on planning and preparing the new report. On Tuesday 23 May at 12 noon (CET), Professor Jane Ohlmeyer, SHAPE-ID Coordinator, will host a discussion with Professor Wernli, University of Geneva, on the report’s key findings and recommendations. Also joining the panel are: Dr Nicola Francesco Dotti, Senior Policy Officer, Science Europe and Dr Kimberly Couvson-Liebe, Scientific Officer at the DLR Project Management Agency and part of the coordination team for the EU-funded project Net4Society, the international network of Horizon Europe Cluster 2 National Contact Points. They will seek their response to this latest contribution to advancing an inter and trans-disciplinary European research landscape. What has changed since the 2016 LERU report and the more recent 2021 SHAPE-ID findings and toolkit? What changes are still necessary across funding, policy and research performing organisations? Register here for the panel discussion on Tuesday 23 May. Please indicate if you have any access requirements so that we can facilitate you in attending this event. Contact: tlrh@tcd.ie
