Interdisciplinary research teams may from time to time face collaborative challenges due to many causes, e. g. various medical interests or professional background. Social identity theory offers a framework to understand these dynamics. Diverse interests or medical background can motivate and drive innovation and creativity in research projects but can also present challenges in term of communication and collaboration caused by different perspectives and traditions. This discussion paper focus on social theory related to team cohesion and collaboration, aiming to assist interdisciplinary teams in achieving collective and collaborative strengths.
