Nexus: Networking Across Disciplines fosters the emergence of interdisciplinary research teams by providing faculty with structured opportunities to learn about one another’s research and brainstorm areas of mutual interest. Through a series of summer workshops, Nexus supports the initial stages of project development as faculty formulate shared research questions, consider analytical strategies, and identify potential funding sources.

Nexus 2025 aims to foster interdisciplinary research collaborations that advance our understanding of community health and well-being and inform the development of innovative, evidence-based solutions to persistent challenges. Workshops will be held on May 15-16 and August 13, 2025, with working groups expected to brainstorm ideas over the summer. Details and application forms are available on the Nexus website. Applications are due by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, April 7.

For more information, join us on Tuesday, February 18, from 4:30-6:00 p.m. in the Lambla Gallery of the Storrs Building (RSVP). We will celebrate the successes of interdisciplinary working groups formed through past Nexus workshops and discuss target areas for Nexus 2025.
Nexus 2025 is organized by the College of Humanities & Earth and Social Sciences and the Division of Research with support from the Cato College of Education, the College of Health and Human Services, and the College of Computing and Informatics. Questions can be directed to CHESS Associate Dean for Research and Interdisciplinary Collaboration Beth Whitaker.
