Abstract
Investigating Interdisciplinary Practice: Methodological Challenges (Introduction)
Highlights
Investigating Interdisciplinary Practice recently attracted wider attention
Each report places a strong imperative on interdisciplinary research and promoting the kinds of institutional regimes needed to support it
Our understanding of what the critical constraints on interdisciplinary interactions are is very limited, even though this knowledge is very relevant to the rather strong expectations associated with ID
Summary
Interdisciplinarity (ID) is one of the most prominent ideas driving science and research policy today. It is applied widely as a conception of what creative and socially relevant research processes should consist of, whether in the natural sciences, the social sciences, the humanities, or elsewhere.

Interdisciplinarity (ID) is one of the most prominent ideas driving science and research policy today.1 It is applied widely as a conception of what creative and socially relevant research processes should consist of, whether in the natural sciences, the social sciences, the humanities, or elsewhere. Many of whom are located in current science and research administration themselves, are using ideas of interdisciplinarity to reshape university organization and research funding. Report; European Union Research Advisory Board (2004), Interdisciplinarity in Research. Each report places a strong imperative on interdisciplinary research and promoting the kinds of institutional regimes needed to support it. The European Research Council, among others, explicitly targets its funding at interdisciplinary projects. Countless papers have been written advocating the importance of interdisciplinarity (see the notion of Mode 2 science, Gibbons et al 1994; Nowotny et al 2001)
