Interdisciplinary Colloquium

Supported by the Office of the Provost, the Interdisciplinary Colloquium (IDC) is a series of events designed to foster the STEM research environment at NYU Shanghai and interdisciplinary collaboration within and cross-institutions. For each event, we invite a distinguished guest speaker to talk about cutting edge science not only for people in their specialty area but also people in other research areas. The speaker meets with our faculty, PhD students, and postdocs, and gives a one-hour lecture open to all.

Upcoming Events

The next IDC series is expected to take place in Fall 2024. Stay tuned for further updates.
