A Proposal Model to Monitor Interdisciplinary Research Projects in Latin American Universities

Abstract

For many years the Latin American university model was aimed at training technicians and professionals. These universities are now trying to develop a pertinent environment for scientific innovation that could contribute to the development of the region. Maybe, interdisciplinary projects are a key part of this environment, if we can agree on the meaning of interdisciplinarity and how to achieve it. This paper proposes a model to monitor interdisciplinarity.
