As a result of technological developments and globalisation, problems are becoming so complex that they can only be solved through cooperation between scientists from different disciplines. Therefore, an interdisciplinary approach is becoming increasingly necessary and popular in higher education.

Students need to learn more about how to integrate and apply knowledge, methods, and skills from different fields. The crucial step of integration within interdisciplinary research is treated extensively in this textbook, which contains a comprehensive ‘interdisciplinary integration toolbox’.

In addition, students must learn to collaborate in teams. 'An Introduction to Interdisciplinary Research' serves as a systematic manual to guide students through this interdisciplinary research process.

New in this edition

- The text has been extensively revised and includes a new chapter on interdisciplinary integration;

- A toolbox with integration techniques;

- More attention to trans-disciplinarity;

- More examples and observations from a wider range of disciplines.
