Abstract
This workshop focuses on knowledge exchange to foster collaboration across disciplines. Partici-pants will apply metaphors to visualize their research and projects using the online platform miro creating a virtual repository to start (or continue) conversations. How can we transfer knowledge and connect across disciplines in academia in non-traditional ways? Although barriers to connect virtually are now lower than ever before, there is a plethora of knowledge and research that is not accessible, visible or discoverable to all researchers equally. How can we connect academia to practice and vice versa? All too often pertinent research developed in academia doesn’t make its way to practice and on the other side businesses and industry are often too occupied meeting deadlines to either pursue their own research or to immerse in academic publications. This workshop aims to foster visual conversations to connect conference participants of diverse backgrounds to identify opportunities to collaborate with and learn from each other. Materials: > A computer and internet bandwidth that can handle being on Zoom and Miro.com at the same time > Basic knowledge of miro.com: How to navigate, use sticky notes, use text frames, use icon tool, upload images, use pen tool > Pen and paper > A phone, tablet, or camera to upload sketches to Miro
