Crossing the boundaries: Transdisciplinary approaches in biosciences education for the 21st century

About the forum

We have reached a turning point in the 21st century with significant advances in our understanding of how people learn, technology, generational change in our student cohort, digital creativity as well as sector-wide structural reform. In order to adapt to this changing landscape we will have to draw on truly transdisciplinary collaborations and bring together the diverse expertise required to deliver meaningful and evidence based bioscience education. We must have strategies to educate our students in these challenging times as well as meeting the ever increasing urgency to have a scientifically informed and responsive public.

The annual forum for the Collaborative Universities in Biomedical Education discipline network (CUBEnet) will be co-hosted by the Vision and Innovation in Biology Education (VIBEnet) with the support of the Australian Academy of Science's National Committee for Biomedical Sciences. The forum will showcase a diverse range of local and international experts in key areas of bioscience education. Importantly, the forum is designed to provide members of CUBEnet and VIBEnet opportunities to interact with speakers, showcase on-going success and explore new collaborative opportunities. 

We warmly welcome our colleagues from the biosciences and other disciplines to join us at this very exciting forum and to share your experience and take home some new ideas on how to approach the challenges that you face in your local context. We hope that you will take this opportunity to work together in new teams over the two days to adopt some transdisciplinary approaches as we create together a a bioscience curriculum for the 21st century.
