The EMPOWER project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no 636249 Lessons Learnt in integrating disciplines in research Teams with (genuine) track record of disciplinary integration are high-value prospects and are likely to succeed at new disciplinary research A ‘facilitating’ approach to research management is less likely to succeed than a directional approach Under pressure, team members are likely to resort to comfort zone of disciplinary base and disciplinary agenda Can team members adopt clear, low-register communication that cuts across disciplines and language barriers? Culture of mutual respect – everyone is an expert ‘someone’ needs the whole picture in the team and in the research 12
