Fostering transdisciplinary perspectives at USJ
The??(USJ) in Macau is a hub of multicultural innovation, inheriting centuries of Macau’s history in-between Asia, Europe, and the Lusophone world, embracing more than 40 nationalities among professors, students, and university staff.?
The USJ’s Research Centers and Doctoral School foster a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research environment, supported by an academic team with solid backgrounds in their specialist fields under five academic fields: humanities, social sciences, administration, science, and information systems.
Transdisciplinarity aims at integrating the natural, social, and health sciences in a humanities context and transcending their traditional boundaries to resolve real-world and complex problems by providing different perspectives on problems to reach holistic descriptive answers to comprehensive research questions.
