DESCRIPTION:In this Unconference session\, we seek to discuss ways to facil
 itate more interdisciplinary research collaboration\, which is largely pro
 moted as beneficial but comes with limited structural support to do so. As
  a starting point for discussion\, we will present a free app developed to
  foster research collaboration: ResearchRendezvous. Traditional methods of
  academic networking are ineffective and inefficient\, with no streamlined
  methods of sharing budding research ideas and finding collaborators to he
 lp bring ideas to life. Our app allows users at conferences and beyond to 
 quickly search through others’ research ideas\, find ones they are inter
 ested in collaborating on\, and open a chat to establish lines of communic
 ation – much like a dating app\, but for research ideas! Participants wi
 ll get the chance to pilot test the app during this session\, discuss its 
 use potential\, give feedback on how to improve the app\, and discuss addi
 tional ideas to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration.
