The objectives of the Interdisciplinary Mission
1) Share a global approach to interdisciplinarity adapted to AMU, by creating synergies between transformative projects and interdisciplinary strategy,
2) Remove the structural barriers to interdisciplinarity by implementing specific proactive actions and an integrated approach, experimenting with facilitating and encouraging practices,
3) Provide practical support for the implementation of interdisciplinary projects, in particular by exploring specific areas linking science and society, and by defining milestones and tools for evaluating and measuring the impact of interdisciplinary integration,
4) Capitalising on, modelling, promoting and disseminating good practice within the AMU and among our partners.
