Interdisciplinary Thesis Awards
The University of Montpellier Doctoral College Thesis Award is intended to recognize three doctoral graduates from the Doctoral College’s Class of 2022 whose research and dissertations have an impact beyond their respective disciplines.
The report 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 scope of knowledge by increasing the amount of available data, tools, and methods. From a multidisciplinary perspective, disciplinary boundaries retain their borders and identities. Interdisciplinarity refers to the interaction and cooperation of several disciplines from different fields around common subjects and projects. Work conducted within an interdisciplinary framework opens up research perspectives for each discipline involved that extend beyond their respective boundaries. Such work combines data, methods, tools, theories, and concepts from different disciplines into a synthesis in which the role of the disciplinary components goes beyond mere juxtaposition.
