Interdisciplinarity is the future of solving complex and wicked problems. Bridging disciplines needs to ensure that a diversity of perspectives is included. That is why we will organize “WICKED - The Interfaculty Conference”. We want to give a platform and voice to people whose discourses often take place on the fringes of finding solutions. With the student-led conference, we want to make space for marginalized voices that are frequently forgotten. A diverse group of people (UM students, UM staff from all faculties and external stakeholders) will come together to work in inclusive, diverse, and interdisciplinary teams.
The one-day conference includes problem-solving sessions in which the student groups work on their cases to improve the UM environment on issues related to Diversity and Inclusivity, guest speaker presentations from within and outside of UM, lunch catering, a closing ceremony with result presentations and potentially a networking evening activity in the form of a party. WICKED will be a great opportunity for the 200 participating students to gain important knowledge and skills in interdisciplinarity, inclusivity, teamwork and embracing diversity.
We are looking for input from the UM community and want to encourage students from all UM faculties to be involved in this conference. If you have suggestions or ideas, or would like to participate, please contact us via wicked@maastrichtuniversity.nl and follow our Instagram (@wickedum)
