Our approach

The CIRM aims to operationalize interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity within its activities through four main focus areas:

• Encouraging interdisciplinary approaches among its members (e.g., seed funding program, interdisciplinary events, research seminars).
• Promoting the development of transdisciplinary actions with society, in collaboration with our regional partners and stakeholders in the Jura vaudois, and the Vaudois and Valais Alps.
• Conducting research on interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity, particularly in the study of mountain socio-ecosystems.
• Strengthening interdisciplinarity at UNIL, particularly by collaborating with other interdisciplinary centers within the university.
