A Project Of The University Of Chicago
The
Wisdom research Network has launched a new website in its effort to
cultivate interdisciplinary research on the nature and benefits of
wisdom. This international networking utility enables scholars and
scientists from all academic disciplines to exchange ideas and engage
in richer conversations through online discussion forums. Such
interactions aim to initiate the level of interdisciplinary
collaboration required of rigorous, scientific investigations into the
nature and benefits of wisdom.
Wisdom-related news and recent
publications are posted regularly to the site, along with updates on
the progress of the current Defining Wisdom grant competition. As a
registered member, you may actively participate in the discussion
forums, and create your own personal profile that may include your
photo, biographical summary, as well as, your own research interests
and publications
