Abstract:
Objective:Under the background of extensive interdisciplinary studies, this article aims to provide references for other domestic universities by analyzing the current situation and exploration of universities to promote the development of interdisciplinary studies.Methods:Taking Xi′an Jiaotong University as a typical case, it was summarized from three aspects: background, specific measures, and results.Results:Measures such as strengthening top-level design, improving organizational management systems, consolidating research platforms, establishing cross-funds, and strengthening talent training modes, were adopted by Xi′an Jiaotong University to promote the development of interdisciplinary studies from all aspects of structure, system, human resources, financial resources, and incentive mechanisms. It has promoted the depth and extension of the school's science, engineering, medicine, literature, and other disciplines, improved academic influence, and serving national and regional development.Conclusions:Interdisciplinary studies is a systematic project that requires the cooperation of the government, universities, medical institutions, industry, and academia to create a policy and institutional environment for multidisciplinary collaboration, truly allowing disciplines to move from mechanical integration to knowledge fusion. Therefore, in the process of interdisciplinary development in universities, it is necessary to straighten out the guiding concepts and basic principles of interdisciplinarity, grasp the characteristics of interdisciplines, and focus on promoting the discipline structure, supporting systems, talent training, funding, and incentive mechanisms.
