Interdisciplinary Thesis Awards
The thesis prize awarded by the Doctoral College of the University of Montpellier aims to reward three doctoral students from the 2022 class of the Doctoral College whose research and thesis work have an impact beyond their disciplines.
The dossier will distinguish between the interdisciplinary nature of the project and the work carried out by the doctor.
Multidisciplinarity consists of a juxtaposition of disciplinary perspectives that broadens the field of knowledge by increasing the amount of data, tools, and methods available. In a multidisciplinary perspective, disciplinary boundaries and identities are maintained. Interdisciplinarity refers to the interaction and cooperation of several disciplines from different fields around common objects and projects. Work carried out within an interdisciplinary framework opens up research perspectives for each discipline involved that are not limited to their respective boundaries. This work combines data, methods, tools, theories, and concepts from different disciplines into a synthesis in which the role of the disciplinary components goes beyond simple juxtaposition.
