Most of the exceptional “anything is possible” research at Northeastern University is collaborative, much of it cross-disciplinary. Our researchers connect across fields, departments, colleges, and institutions, bringing together different approaches, and understanding, to perform research that breaks through frontiers of discovery or application.

Join an Interactive Symposium and Discussion hosted by the Northeastern University College of Science to explore how a broad set of collaborative approaches can help address current challenges in the research landscape.
