Pollination Days at Sinappi Centre

Great to have such a variety of participants join us for the Pollination Days 8–10 October 2025. This is a two-day interdisciplinary workshop designed to bring together researchers across Åbo Akademi. The goal is to improve collaboration skills and expand your academic toolkit.

What you can look forward to:

• mastering the art of interdisciplinary fluency and interpersonal agility: by developing practical competencies in both interdisciplinary dialogue and interpersonal collaboration, enabling clearer articulation of ideas across diverse academic domains and more effective teamwork.
• learning to think like a research architect: spotting hidden gaps, tracing emerging possibilities, and charting compelling vectors of inquiry that push your field forward.
• temporal intelligence in research design: by developing a cyclical mindset for research planning—recognising rhythms, feedback loops, and timing as tools to make the processes more sustainable.
