Faced with increasingly complex challenges, we choose interdisciplinary research and large-scale cooperation. Scientific programs are major drivers of our research strategy. They help structure scientific communities around high-stakes themes, accelerate discoveries, and reinforce the standing of Université Grenoble Alpes among leading international research universities. By fostering collaboration between disciplines, national research organizations, academic institutions, and socio-economic partners, these programs help generate the knowledge needed to understand the world and support its transformation.
Cross-Disciplinary Programs (CDP)
Fostering dialogue across disciplines to address complex challenges.
CDPs help foster new fields of research at the intersection of disciplines. They create the conditions for unprecedented collaborations among scientists to address complex questions that disciplinary approaches alone can no longer resolve.
