A potential new service (presently on the drawing board):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Researchers:

Are you working on problems that cannot be addressed or solved within the
existing disciplines?

Do you find the "scientific method(s)" frustrating in achieving your
objective?

Are you on the lookout for knowledge not produced by trained disciplinary
scholars?

We will help you locate such knowledge: we will also help integrate
conflicting insights concerning the problem from different disciplines by
creating common ground between them.

Overall, we will help in your COLLABORATIVE LEARNING through techniques
and tools that will assist in constructing interdisciplinary understanding and facilitate
interdisciplinary research.

Facilitation Unit of NCSI at irfu@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in
