We have seen great efforts to merge overlapping disciplines and challenge areas\, defining various nexuses between water\, energy\, health\, food and climate. Recently\, convergence research has emerged as an effective framework for tackling complex interdependent problems. It intentionally integrates seemingly disparate knowledge systems\, methodologies\, and expertise in a way that enables asking and answering research questions in completely new\, and successful ways. What is convergence\, and how can we apply it? This talk will introduce the fascinating concept. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Details \n\n\n\nOctober Science With Jazz Seminar Series Combines with Pris \n\n\n\nDATE:  Wednesday 28 October 2026 \n\n\n\nVENUE:  Coastlands Hotel Musgrave\, Suites 1-3 \n\n\n\nTIME:  16h30-18h00 \n\n\n\nFEATURING:  Chemical Engineer Professor David Lokhat and Jazz Artist Lu Dlamini and the Prophets. \n\n\n\nTOPIC:  The Big Convergence – are we prepared for a new way of research?
