Throughout 2016, a group of UPV/EHU researchers came together in a series of participative, practical meetings to reflect on interdisciplinary cooperation. The group examined the meaning and limits of cross-discipline cooperation in academic and research in the specific context of UPV/EHU. This was used as a basis to co-create specific initiatives aimed at creating an environment of radical integration between disciplines.

Several levels or areas of work were discussed

• The personal level

What skills, attitudes and reactions favour or hinder interdisciplinary teamwork?

• Teams and relations

Which dialogue skills and habits exist outside a discipline? How can we use language as a real tool for dialogue, beyond simple codes? What are the characteristics of transdisciplinary language? What formal and informal expression rituals are created and used by a transdisciplinary group?
