Sharing Insights on Innovation at HiØ's PhD Day 2025

Today, Dr Gunnar Andersson had the privilege of representing the Innovation Research Group as one of four panelists during the Annual PhD Day at Østfold University College. Our discussion focused on interdisciplinary research—its meanings, challenges, and opportunities across different fields.

The panel explored questions such as:

  • What does interdisciplinarity mean in practice?
  • How do we balance core perspectives with secondary aspects in research?
  • What obstacles arise when integrating methods and frameworks from multiple disciplines—and how can they be overcome?

Drawing on our experience in innovation and project leadership, I shared reflections on how interdisciplinary approaches can foster holistic solutions to complex societal challenges. It was fun to exchange ideas with colleagues from diverse research traditions and to see how collaboration across disciplines can drive progress toward sustainable development goals.
