“…Inter‐/transdisciplinary careers are perceived as risky and may be discouraged (OECD, 2020), with such research described as an ‘elusive pursuit’ and crossing an ‘academic demilitarized zone’ (Bark et al, 2016; Klein, 1990; Roy et al, 2013). For example, academic promotion and performance measures are linked to quantity and quality of the journal of publication (Bark et al, 2016; Brown et al, 2019; OECD, 2020), but interdisciplinary journals are less highly regarded, and individual contributions are harder to define in multi‐author work (Marzano et al, 2006). Interdisciplinary publications may take longer, and delayed citation impact is an additional risk (Bark et al, 2016).…”

In recent decades, transdisciplinary research has been increasingly recognised as necessary to produce solutions for sustainable development; however, implementation challenges remain. The emerging field of planetary health offers a unique lens to guide a new synthesis of perspectives, recognising interlinkages between environmental and human health, and interdependence across global development contexts, that is, at the environment‐health‐development nexus. This broad, practice‐based literature review consolidates learnings from previous transdisciplinary research across these diverse yet interrelated fields, and aims to deepen understanding of, and identify opportunities for, enabling collaborative practice. This review found structural, relational, and individual factors enabling and constraining collaboration. Local research contexts and academia's disciplinary traditions posed structural constraints that required relational efforts at the project, organisational and individual levels to address. This analysis revealed strategic opportunities for funding programs and researcher training that can be leveraged to increase capacity for relational work, further enabling collaboration in transdisciplinary research.

“…32 Furthermore, it is claimed that there has been an asymmetry in the power balance between nature scientists and social- and human scientists, where the role and skills of social- and human scientists have usually been rated as “less scientific” than their colleagues within nature sciences. 32 , 33 …”

“…A constructive dialogue between researchers that promotes shared empathy, respect, and trust for scientific approaches other than their own must be established as guidelines. 5 , 12 , 31 , 33 The goal of implementing such guidelines is to develop conditions or a climate that empowers the researchers to engage across disciplines and to reduce the differences between disciplinary jargon. 33 Researchers have pointed at challenges in establishing what they call good cultural competence between different disciplines in clinical practice and found that humility is an important component.…”

Authorities and research institutions emphasise and encourage interdisciplinary research to meet complex societal health challenges as dementia. However, studies that describe an interdisciplinary approach for dementia research are limited. What does it take for research to become interdisciplinary? Is it enough to include researchers from different disciplines? This paper reflects on an interdisciplinary approach to dementia research. Based on existing literature and theories, we elaborate the concept of interdisciplinarity, and how the perspective can contribute and improve dementia care.

“…As a research institution, faculty has one of the most critical roles in translating global SDGs (European Green Deal and all other actions) in national and local contexts, identifying gaps, developing solutions, and measuring the progress. Moreover, research and innovation across social sciences are essential for the successful implementation of most of the SDGs, which could be promoted by following actions, as suggested by recent studies [18][19][20]:…”

Higher Education Challenges: Developing Skills to Address Contemporary Economic and Sustainability Issues

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper aims to provide brief insight into the economic and sustainability challenges that higher education institutions are facing today globally. It provides a theoretical overview of key trends and challenges of higher education, relevant for the development of a sustainable and resilient European economy and society. We support our theoretical proposition by a bibliometric analysis of previous studies dealing with the 21st-century business skills and the sustainability outlook to be produced by the higher education sector. Our main findings are related to a significant rise of researchers’ interest in the topic, along with the multi-disciplinary approach being emphasized, as the academic community seeks how to contribute to the pressing issues of ensuring the integration of sustainability with employers’ requirements, related to new skill profiles, relevant for the European transformation toward a more resilient, digital, green economy and society. We evaluate the proposed course of research and provide recommendations to researchers and other higher education stakeholders interested in promoting this educational sector’s sustainability and relevance in the 21st century.
