Why we work with LIS
Interdisciplinary research has been credited with breakthroughs in fields such as healthcare, environmental sustainability, and technology. Collaborative efforts across disciplines are essential for tackling multifaceted issues like climate change, public health crises, and social inequality, as they require holistic approaches that draw on insights from various fields. As such, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration is crucial for advancing knowledge, driving innovation, and addressing the complex challenges facing society today.

“I very much enjoyed working with Alvaro over the last few years. His knowledge of online and new learning spaces on a global scale has helped me see new possibilities for higher education. His understanding of how coaching, in particular, could function in higher education and corporate learning environments has been very helpful in considering how we develop new tutorial models in this age of digital and remote learning.”
