5x5 어떻게 - 5x5 eotteohge

The name, 5x5, comes from the intent to gather five people together to meet about five times.
 

Our goals are simple: 

• to expand your intellectual and personal networks; 
• to have a space and a group to explore new ideas; 
• for participants (you) to engage with people across disciplines and other boundaries in order to learn about and appreciate different perspectives and methods; 
• and to have a different kind of experience (and fun) than you may get in your daily work. 

We recognize that building collaborative relationships and interdisciplinary work may take a long time; this gives you a taste of the possibilities.  The benefits for the IAS are that we get to meet new people, expand our networks on and off campus, and promote interdisciplinarity and collaboration.

Groups may be organized around a theme or topic of common interest, readings, an activity, an idea, or bring together individuals the IAS thinks would find stimulating common ground. The IAS has the responsibility for putting groups together; unlike a grant proposal or an IAS Research and Creative Collaborative, you won’t have to identify co-conspirators.* You are welcome to list categories of people or disciplines whose work you would like to know more about, or suggest colleagues or others that you think would be interested in participating in a 5x5 (not necessarily the same one you might be in). This can include off-campus people and job categories.
 

Past and current 5x5 groups include:

• Storytelling and Climate
• Human in the Data
• Outcomes/Data/Learning Analytics
• Biorhythms
• Movement and Gravity
• Corporate Social Responsibility

Stories of Successful 5x5 Groups

Walk with Us At the Water: One 5x5 Partners with Bde Maka Ska Artists

COVID-19 hasn’t stopped Sonja Kuftinec, Margaret Werry, Tracy Kugler, and Emily Stover from seeing through their plans as a 5x5 initiative interested in how art-work impacts how we care about and for place. In fact, although their work together as a group would have wrapped up last spring, the pandemic has created additional opportunities for unexpected community collaboration, all of which led to an event on October 17, 2020, with Catalyst Arts: Walk with Us At the Water: A Honoring, A Connection, A Gathering of Resources.

5x5 Initiative: A Flexible Approach to Sparking Serendipity

Circadian rhythms, the focus of one 5x5 group, are the physical, mental, and behavioral changes in most living beings that follow a daily cycle.

As part of the first round of the 5x5 initiative, one interdisciplinary team explored the connection between our health and our circadian rhythms.The 5x5 team’s six members, whose expertise spanned the fields of nursing, medicine, wearable technology, and the history of science, technology and medicine, came together to discuss how assessing individuals’ circadian rhythms can play an important role in providing personalized health care and improving well-being.

Dr. Ruifeng (Ray) Cao, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical sciences at the U of M Medical School, Duluth Campus and a member of this 5x5 team, said working with experts from other fields made it possible to approach the subject from many different angles.

“Interdisciplinary collaboration was especially interesting to me,” he said. “For example, we had a design expert in the group, and she showed us how to design products to monitor individual daily rhythms. We also had a bioinformatician, who showed us how to utilize big data from public databases.”
