Location: Strand Campus, S0.13, WC2R 2LS

The Digital Futures Institute’s Centre for Technology and the Body is running a series of workshops in 2025 to foster interdisciplinary collaboration between the arts and humanities and health sciences at King’s College London. The series aims to create a space for research relationships, mentoring, and partnership building that leads to future funding bids.

Our first of four workshops, led by Barry Smith, will focus on exploring how we can start to build interdisciplinary collaboration across King’s. We will explore – first through a panel discussion and then in small groups – the opportunities and challenges of interdisciplinary working, from compiling teams to competing languages, to negotiating outcomes and ethical conflicts, as well as what impact looks like in interdisciplinary spaces. This will also be a space to shape the agenda for the following workshops.

This is an in-person only workshop, and is open to King’s research staff working in the arts and humanities and the health sciences. We also have a limited number of spaces for final year doctoral research students from these disciplines: if you are a final year doctoral student and would like to attend, please contact digitalfutures@kcl.ac.uk directly to book.

The full set of dates are:

• Wednesday 5th March 2025, 1 – 4 PM, at the Strand Building, Room S.013: Interdisciplinarity – workshopping opportunities and challenges.
• Wednesday 2nd April 2025, 1 – 4PM, at the Science Gallery (Guy's Campus): Technologies and the body.
• Wednesday 21st May 2025, Location & time TBC. Ethics and identity.
• Wednesday 11th June 2025, 1 – 4PM, at Lecture Theatre A, London Institute for Healthcare Engineering: Funding applications – next steps and planning.
