Abstract: (1513 Views)
The universal nature of science and increasing complexity of technological issues and developments in different sciences led to the growth of interdisciplinary cooperation. Some health issues such as addiction, population aging, emerging and re-emerging diseases, and environmental pollution are beyond the scope and capacity of a single-discipline expertise and require constructive dialogue and cooperation between different specialized fields. Currently in Iran, the development of interdisciplinary cooperation is not of much interest at medical sciences universities. The present policy brief aimed at addressing this issue by reviewing the upstream documents proposed by the Parliament Education/Research Commission, the development roadmap in the 9th and 10th governments, and interviewing elites in interdisciplinary fields.
