Drawing from the Latin roots of the word interdisciplinary—inter meaning “between” and disciplina meaning “knowledge” or “teaching”—IDEAS positions itself at the intersection of diverse fields of knowledge within the social sciences. We aim to inhabit this transitional intellectual space, fostering research that emerges between disciplinary boundaries, where convergence of thought, practice, and expertise takes place.

Our platform aspires to serve as a foundation for building sustainable, multidisciplinary collaborations—both within the University and in partnership with civil society, international organizations, and leading research institutions.
