Early-Career Researchers in team science often face the challenge of connecting big-picture thinking with critical details. This interactive workshop introduces the Ladder of Abstraction, a powerful framework for navigating between high-level concepts and concrete specifics in interdisciplinary collaborations.
Participants will learn how to use this tool to enhance clarity, improve cross-disciplinary communication, and translate ideas into meaningful action. Through hands-on exercises, attendees will develop practical strategies to foster alignment, facilitate decision-making, and drive progress in their collaborative research efforts.
This event is open to the public.
Registration is free.
