Interdisciplinary Studies
Interdisciplinarity is expressed in different ways in academic studies. It can take the form of a one-time educational activity, a course, or be integrated throughout an entire program.
Drivers of Interdisciplinary Research
At Université Laval, several key institutes and research units focused on cross-cutting themes foster interdisciplinary collaboration.
