Transdisciplinary mentoring as a mechanism for developing cooperation in translational research
Turku University of Economics and FICAN West have jointly started a two-year collaboration project: Transdisciplinary mentoring as a mechanism for developing cooperation in translational research. The project is financed by the Finnish Work Environment Fund. As part of the project, we will establish a mentoring program for FICAN West to enhance local collaboration in cancer research across organizations, and at the individual level, to provide support for learning at work and strengthen well-being.
In this mentoring program, it is central that for each mentoring pair one comes with clinical background and one with basic research background, with the aim to transfer the silent knowledge, develop one’s research and familiarize with other working cultures.
Translational research that crosses disciplinary, organizational and professional boundaries is challenging, but it is the prerequisite to make new forms of treatment available to patients more efficiently.
