Mary-Anne Williams: Leading Innovation and Collaboration in Knowledge Representation Research

Abstract: In the rapidly evolving field of knowledge representation (KR), learning to lead innovation and collaboration is essential. This presentation will delve into the art and science of effective innovation leadership and collaboration in academic research. We will explore strategies to identify potential collaborators, foster meaningful academic relationships, and amplify the impact of your work. By understanding the nuances of transdisciplinary collaboration, attendees will be better equipped to lead innovation in KR and achieve a lasting impact. We will explore how you might navigate the academic labyrinth by transforming challenges into opportunities using a curious and entrepreneurial mindset.
