Sharing some of our findings!
As far as what concerns the ways of doing ITD, our interviewees oscillate between focusing on relationship and tasks.
#Relationship-oriented: The #setting (how the space is organized) the #relationships (how #conflicts are managed between different #actors and #disciplines)
Here is an example of a setting and relationship #orientation, which sounds very #inspiring to us:
“(…) there is a #physical space, which in the same floor, it's a one floor in one of the teaching buildings, which has offices for postdocs to be sitting together. Even if they are from very different research centers, they will be sitting together and so improving their communication.”
It seems like a #safespace has been established, and is really #effective in improving the #ITDR practices!
Another approach which is #task-oriented:
Focusing on real #outcomes: questions were asked concerning the kind of #results that can only be achieved by doing #ITD #research.
“So in a sense, where we have a #shared #perspective, most of the results we have obtained need to be #multidisciplinary because they need to #communicate to a more #disciplinary based audience”
Regarding on what are the other variables are needed in order to #enhance #ITD, most of the #aspects, for instance, are #1: #fundings to facilitate the processes, #2 #policies to support the #transformation and #3 #education to mainstream #ITDR.
