#Collaboration and #interdisciplinarity are key to driving new ideas in #research. 💡 Idea 3/9 for pushing novelty in basic research highlights the value of these principles. Check it out here 👉https://dg.dk/the-pursuit-of-novelty-2024/

Collaborate, crossing silos Perhaps the most mentioned activity to stimulate new thinking and new ideas is that of working together across traditional scientific fields or subfields, such as when quantum physicists work together with molecular biologists to develop non-invasive measurements of biological systems. It is well-known that interdisciplinary research, involving the combination of traditions, theories, methods, and objects from divergent fields, is fertile ground for making breakthroughs. Hence, it may seem surprising that some studies find that group diversity is inversely proportional to the novelty of ideas generated1 . However, the centers provide nuance to this in the sense that they find interdisciplinary collaboration to be highly demanding; in fact, they report that it often takes years to get to a point where the mutual understanding across scientific fields and languages is sufficiently advanced for the collaboration to pay off. But ultimately, in the experi -ence of centers of excellence, cross-disciplinary collaboration is highly valuable. 1 Degn, L. and Alnor, E.D: Creativity in research – current perspectives on the nature of, the conditions for, and the role of creativity in research.

#Diversity and #plurality can bring new, important perspectives. 💡Idea 8/9 for pushing novelty in basic research underlines the value of these principles.👉 dg.dk/the-pursuit-...

Promote diversity and plurality
The centers generally emphasize the importance of diversity in terms of age, gender, nationality, etc., but in some scientific areas, promoting, for example, gender balance is challenging. Many centers mention that Centers of Excellence have the benefit of encompassing many different colleagues who work within the same broad scientific area and may have new, relevant perspectives or may be able to demonstrate equipment. This essential dynamic is underpinned by having shared facilities, a key benefit of a physical center.
