In this talk, Dr Chris Fremantle presented on the topic of 'Multidisciplinary understandings of indeterminacy, uncertainty and risk'. The webinar explores some of his recent work on differences between disciplines (e.g. social and natural sciences, arts, humanities, law, economics) in the values, meanings and ways of working with indeterminacy and uncertainty, including how research interacts with decision-making. Common themes were discussed, offering scope for greater mutual understanding and collaboration across disciplines, and for greater impact.
