Stephen Fiore, a philosopher at UCF, has been awarded an NSF grant to study how disciplines work together and learn from each other. His efforts are aimed at preparing future researchers for the teamwork needed to solve complex issues.

“The goal of the project is to understand how team members implicitly and explicitly learn as they collaborate on convergence science,” Fiore says. “When we work with people from different fields, to be successful we need to be continually learning from each other.” Fiore believes that team interactions are essential to solving the world’s challenges.
