Interdisciplinary Solutions (InterSol) is an international conference dedicated to the advancement of interdisciplinary research that addresses needs in s ‘underserved areas’. Working in Africa, InterSol’s central objectives are to: establish an interdisciplinary research and development community, encourage education in Africa and around the world, and incentivize members of the community to start trans-/interdisciplinary research projects with real-world decision-making impact. Towards this end, during annual conferences, InterSol holds a special roundtable session during which participants discuss opportunities for collaborative research agendas to take forward.
