Advanced studies lead to specialization. Yet, once the PhD stage has ended the specialists will need to work in teams with specialists in other field. This workshop seeks to prepare PhD students to this day. To this end the workshop exposes PhD students to recent broad multi-disciplinary studies published in top journals, allow them to interact with other PhD students from other disciplines that share the interest in the environment, and to give them a chance to present the rationale for their dissertation and obtain feedback from advanced students in other fields.
