IceLab Camp is a workshop on interdisciplinary research organized by Martin Rossval and held in Sweden (Kronlund Kursgard) between 17-20 September 2012:

Participants work in multidisciplinary teams to develop, write, and present a small research project. We use the first day or two to converge on different research questions and the following days to find the best theoretical or experimental framework to answer those questions. On the last day, each team presents its approach. Between sessions of projectwork, we will sandwich in SciFoo2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Foo_Camp)‐type opportunities to promote unconventional interaction and collaboration, presentations of several researchers’ biographies to highlight the wide variety of possible scientific careerpaths, and interactive games to break open the boundaries of creativity.
