A INTERDISCIPLINARITY AS A DEMAND FOR TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION – SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL PRODUCTION IN UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

The present study seeks to discuss the theme of interdisciplinarity in the search for innovation, precisely technological innovation, within academic environments. The objective of the work is to investigate which studies carried out with interdisciplinary teams had their research transformed into published articles and/or patents granted or in the concession process, in the last 11 years and which Universities or Education and Research Institutions are responsible for these products, in the search to understand the contribution of this field of science to society. To achieve this objective, the methodology adopted for the work is qualitative-quantitative, through the bibliographic and documentary survey on the subject. studies demonstrate that interdisciplinary approaches are crucial for the generation of innovations in universities for several reasons, including the connection of knowledge: solution to complex challenges, collaboration between experts and the acceleration of scientific progress. In this way, it can be said that interdisciplinarity has as its main objective, to contribute to a more unified teaching and learning process, allowing the development of individuals, in their fullness.
