Its objectives are to assess, monitor and assist in the implementation of interdisciplinarity within the research supported by LabexMed, to promote it and to propose new lines of research.
Its operating methods are thus:
- analysis of the feedback from the Themed Workshops for Interdisciplinary Research Pilot Projects (wave 1, 2012-2013 and wave 2, 2013-2014)
- organisation of interviews based on the representation of the roles with the leaders of selected projects
- organisation of the Focus Workshops
- organisation of guest speaker conferences (Nicole Mathieu and Jean-Paul Deléage).
OPI contributions:
- Definition of interdisciplinary indicators based on the analysis of the Pilot Projects
- Modification of Calls for Pilot Projects (specification of scientific objectives)
- Establishment of the “Interdisciplinary Pathways” cycle
- Participation in the delineation of the LabexMed Aristotle Chair of Excellence.
