- 5. Who is a good researcher? A good researcher must be open-minded and must also adopt a critical way of thinking. Besides, he/she should be hard working, diligent, focused and devoted to his/her specific field of interest. OECD (2015). Frascati Manual. The Measurement of Scientific, Technological and Innovation Activities. Research is "creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge".

- 11. Effective collaboration between people from different disciplines is necessary to maximize the potential benefits of interdisciplinarity for future research activity.
- 12. Research into Practice in Training the next Generation of Interdisciplinary Researchers • Evaluate interdisciplinary funding schemes to discuss skills development. • Workshops are used to synthesize experiential knowledge and foster mutual learning. • Discuss interdisciplinary capacity-building derived from actual practice. • Effective interdisciplinary capacity requires enhanced supervision and mentoring. • Mentoring in career guidance, network building and publication strategies are key. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016328713001158
- 13. Highlights • Early-career perspective on fostering future interdisciplinary research • Interdisciplinary encounters effective means for such fostering • Precise objectives of encounters differ, which impacts their practical design • Selection theme, participants, and location are key elements of this design •Promotion of encounters is essential to enhance interdisciplinary collaboration. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016328713001158
- 14. Interdisciplinary Encounters as a means to Foster Interdisciplinarity Perceived barriers to individual researchers embarking on interdisciplinary research include • the relatively poor career prospects, • lower esteem from colleagues, • discrimination by reviewers in proposals • disproportionate difficulty in publishing in prestigious journals https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016328713001158
- 15. Interdisciplinary Encounters as a means to Foster Interdisciplinarity Therefore researchers with the potential and interest to work across disciplines may need additional encouragement and resources. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016328713001158

- 17. HEALTH RESEARCH FOR POLICY DEVELOPMENT
- 18. What is policy? the term ‘policy’ as a catch-all phrase for a range of formal and informal decision- making processes https://health-policy-systems.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1478-4505-1-2
- 21. HEALTH POLICY affected by SYSTEMS
- 22. Thus, in writing this manuscript it is first instructive to define policy and associated key terms, namely politics and management, to help ECRs understand the nuances between them, and where they are most likely to achieve impact. https://health-policy-systems.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1478-4505-1-2
- 23. The nature of policy-making and its role in knowledge utilization Policy- making can be viewed as involving the 'authoritative allocation of values’.

Editor's Notes
- Theme of the Meeting - The necessity of a theme may depend upon the aim of an encounter. For cultivation encounters, a theme allows common issues and problems to be discussed. Size of Gathering - Social psychologists have long recognized that group size is an important variable in any theory of group behavior. Stewart’s meta-analysis of the impact of team size on performance for groups working on complex tasks in uncertain environments reported a positive correlation between increasing team size and improved performance. The explanation is that larger groups achieve higher levels of performance due to access to greater resources, including expertise. Background of the Participants - Significant diversity in background, culture and discipline might require a longer time for the group to develop relationships. Stokols et al. report that, although teams in which members share similar demographic and educational characteristics are more socially cohesive, there is no evidence that homogeneous teams perform better than heterogeneous ones. Career Stage of Participants - A relevant question is at what stage of their career should scholars and researchers attend interdisciplinary encounters. While other literature has considered interdisciplinary exposure and experiences at different career stages we found that little published work has focused on encounters as a mechanism to foster interdisciplinary research at different career stages. Location of Meeting - Bringing people together in one physical location is an important part of an encounter. One reason for this is that face-to-face contact has been shown to be essential in establishing trust between people. The role of the environment in which the encounter takes place is important in establishing effective interdisciplinary interaction. Programme Structure - involves both cultivation elements, comprising seminars, coursework and facilitated workshops, and a development aspect in which small groups work on a joint paper. Length of Encounter - Important factors that impact upon the appropriate length are the type of encounter, the specific aims and, crucially, the number and background of people attending, which links to the time required for relationship and network building. We see the development encounter as a way to bring people together to stimulate ideaswhich will be further developed after the encounter.
