4. Towards Better Team Research: Arts/STEMM Collaborations

**As an a2ru member institution, UGA students, faculty, and staff are eligible for free registration.**
Join a2ru and its research partner, the Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR), for a conversation about arts/STEMM partnered research. Clinical and arts researchers discuss the outcomes, challenges, benefits, and unique needs of their collaborative work. The participants will also discuss the recent a2ru/MICHR collaborative study, "Supporting Artists on STEMM Research Teams: Why and How," in which the two organizations set out to investigate the different disciplinary approaches and practices that come together on arts/STEMM research teams. While the 2020 pandemic upended plans for this work, the study nonetheless yielded insight and provocative questions for future exploration.
