Radical Interdisciplinarity starts with the same basic premise that underpins CIFAR programs: the most interesting research questions necessitate an interdisciplinary approach to unpack and make progress toward. Through roundtable discussions and collaborative sessions, the convening will explore One Health through the lens of complex challenges, emerging research horizons, and unique avenues of inquiry. We will bring together a highly diverse group of thinkers across disciplines, and by engaging with other researchers, we will actively involve the next generation in shaping future research directions.

In partnership with the Swiss National Science Foundation, Radical Interdisciplinarity: One Health will be held in Lucerne, Switzerland, from March 2-3, 2027. Interested applicants must be within 10 years of receiving their PhD and hold a postdoctoral or faculty position based in Canada or Switzerland. Participants outside these jurisdictions who meet the career-stage criteria and who have participated in a CIFAR program may also apply.
