DESCRIPTION:[i]What happens to research when we let curiosity lead? And wh
 at happens when we dare to ask bigger\, more ambitious questions?[/i]\n\n
 Join world-renowned evolutionary geneticist Eske Willerslev and DIAS for 
 an exclusive session on how interdisciplinary research can move beyond na
 rrow specialisations to address broader societal questions.\n\nThe event 
 begins with a keynote presentation by Eske Willerslev\, who will share in
 sights from his own research journey and academic environment. Drawing on
  examples from his distinguished career\, Willerslev will explore the dyn
 amics of interdisciplinary collaboration\, reflecting on how even the mos
 t compelling research can become siloed or technical - and how we might i
 nstead embrace a broader\, more open-ended approach:  \n\nWhat happens wh
 en we let curiosity lead? And what happens when we dare to ask bigger\, m
 ore ambitious questions?\n\nFollowing the keynote\, we will open the floo
 r for a structured and interactive discussion. This segment will feature 
 reflections from researchers affiliated with the Danish Institute for Adv
 anced Study\, including both senior and early-career scholars. They will 
 share their experiences with interdisciplinary work: where it thrives\, w
 here it struggles\, and how it is communicated within and beyond the acad
 emic world. Together\, we will reflect on questions such as:\n[list]\n[*]
 Why do we do what we do?\n[*]Who [i]are [/i]we speaking to - and who [i]c
 ould [/i]we be speaking to?\n[*] How do we build interdisciplinary initia
 tives that are both ambitious and resilient?\n[*]What shifts when we move
  from hypothesis-testing to problem-orientation?\n[/list]\nWe will also c
 onsider the many paths research can take - whether published or not - and
  how to value the quieter work that shapes ideas\, sparks questions\, and
  influences others over time.\n\nWhether you are deeply engaged in interd
 isciplinary projects or simply curious about new ways of thinking and col
 laborating\, this event is an invitation to reflect\, connect\, and reima
 gine the future of academic inquiry.\n\n[b]About Eske Willerslev[/b]\nEsk
 e Willerslev is a Danish evolutionary geneticist known for pioneering wor
 k in ancient DNA\, molecular anthropology\, and environmental genomics. H
 e holds professorships at both the University of Copenhagen and the Unive
 rsity of Cambridge\, where he serves as the Prince Philip Professor of Ec
 ology and Evolution. Willerslev is renowned for sequencing the first anci
 ent human genome and for developing the field of environmental DNA. His r
 esearch has reshaped our understanding of human history and ecosystems\, 
 earning him numerous international awards and honors. Beyond academia\, h
 e is also a skilled communicator\, regularly engaging the public through 
 books\, films\, and lectures.\n\nEske Willerslev was appoined DIAS Chair 
 of Science in early 2025. \n\n[b]When and where:[/b]\n10 September 2025\n
