How multiple Purdue research teams are finding solutions to WICKED problems
Q: What is Breaking Through?
Breaking Through: Developing Multidisciplinary Solutions to Global Grand Challenges 8 | WICKED
A: In June 2016, Purdue was awarded a grant by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation entitled, “Breaking Through: Developing Multidisciplinary Solutions to Global Grand Challenges.” We held a conference to celebrate the success of the pilot grant and advertise our new grant, featuring experts in the field of communication, Dr. Barbara Kline Pope and Dr. Dietram Scheufele. Building off of the success of the pilot grant (2014-2016), this current effort once again achieves the integration of humanistic expertise into the teams and project design, and will enhance the ability to effectively communicate new knowledge. Breaking Through research involves librarians, publishers, and policy experts in the research process. NOMADIC
