Abstract
How can we transform the university into a Renaissance workshop—a space where all the disciplines converge? This keynote explores building a culture of interdisciplinarity by drawing inspiration from the Renaissance studio and other such ""hothouses"" in history, where collaboration across fields drove creativity and discovery. By fostering curiosity, imagination, and shared purpose, we can break down institutional and epistemological silos, reshape physical and intellectual spaces, and create new models of collaboration.
