Publications

Research publication plays a crucial role in advancing knowledge, particularly in the context of interdisciplinary research. It serves as a means for scholars to disseminate their findings to a broader academic community, fostering collaboration and cross-pollination of ideas across diverse fields. Interdisciplinary research, by its nature, blends methodologies, concepts, and frameworks from different disciplines, and publishing the outcomes helps bridge knowledge gaps, enabling experts from various sectors to address complex problems. Our multidiscipline approach to research is also reflected in the diversity of journals and media used for dissemination. A selection of publications is listed below.
