The Interdisciplinary Dialogues programme at Iméra, the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) of Aix Marseille Université, is open to researchers who have a strong interest in the interplay and dialogue between different disciplines, whatever those disciplines may be (humanities, social sciences, natural and environmental sciences, arts, etc.).

Proposals must present an interdisciplinary dimension addressing either a specific topic, methodological issues, or both. Projects involving discussions on the practices and ethics of interdisciplinarity, as well as its legitimacy, are welcome. Priority will be given to projects by researchers who have previously produced innovative and original results in their own field through dialogue with another discipline; however, new research challenges fitting within the framework of an IAS fellowship will also be favorably considered.

This programme may also host scientific or artistic projects related to the theories, practices, and limitations of interdisciplinarity in academic research and higher education teaching. Potential research projects may include concept transfers, models of interdisciplinarity, critical analyses of interdisciplinary analogies, and intersections of the natural and human sciences.

The Interdisciplinary Explorations research programme was designed and directed by Gabriella Crocco, Professor of Philosophy, from September 2021 to July 2025.
