Interdisciplinary Research at MIT
Advances in knowledge, together with an awareness of the complexity of today's world, have led researchers to tackle complex problems that cannot be resolved from the vantage point of a single academic discipline. At MIT, faculty and students from different fields frequently work together in interdisciplinary centers, laboratories, and programs that extend beyond departmental or school boundaries.
