Scientific Dating - an encounter across disciplines

In a world where research is increasingly collaborative and inclusive, this workshop was a unique opportunity for junior scientists from diverse fields to come together. They shared valuable insights and approaches related to research on nuclear topics. Our main aim? To foster connections, integrate various perspectives, stimulate critical thinking, and explore innovative ways to embark on collaborative projects.

We were thrilled to have 11 talented MSc and PhD students join us from 7 different European countries. During the workshop, held at the Belgian Comics Art Museum in Brussels, these brilliant minds not only presented their own research but also delved into the realm of transdisciplinarity. Together, they discussed both the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

On the second day, the participants took their collaboration to the next level. They formulated a research question and developed a transdisciplinary project, focusing on intriguing nuclear themes such as the management of nuclear emergencies and post-accident recovery, small modular reactors, and medical applications like mammography.
