The objective of DTIC-UPF’s second MdM programme is to launch and implement a strategic program which takes the unit’s interdisciplinary research to a new level and makes strides into transdisciplinary research. This reflects a concern for the complex nature of the challenges facing society: some of these challenges can only be tackled through transdisciplinary efforts.

To this end, DTIC-UPF’s second MdM programme aims at promoting i) synergies with the rest of UPF and associated entities, establishing actions that can be sustained over time and ii) engaging with the Planetary Wellbeing initiative. It further seeks to iii) promote new links among internal research domains within DTIC-UPF, as a natural continuation of the first MdM programme and with emphasis on links with the CBC, which did not participate in that first programme. By doing so, DTIC-UPF will further enhance its distinctive character and impact, in accordance with the recommendations of the unit’s External Advisory Board.
