Interdisciplinary research integrates knowledge and working across two or more academic disciplines to cover broad perspectives, skills, and interconnections in an educational setting.1 In recent years, urgent societal matters such as the Covid-19 crisis, the emerging climate crisis, and the aging population have reminded us that comprehensive and effective solutions require the integration of multiple research disciplines and governance from several institutions. This is reflected by, for example, the demand for interdisciplinary research proposals that many of the private and public funding agencies require, and by the increasing proportion of interdisciplinary publications.
