INTREPID (COST Action TD1408) - Interdisciplinarity in research programming and funding cycles - is supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). 28/04/2015 - 27/04/2019
This Actions will bring together communities of researchers, and research policy makers, contributing to advance our understanding and effective application of interdisciplinarity. A range of actions is designed to draw upon the Network's knowledge of barriers, as well as success and good practices, leading to the building of a critical mass of researchers and funders working to strengthen the European Research Area's capacity for interdisciplinarity.

INTREPID is a 22 country network with the overall aim to better understand how to achieve more efficient and effective interdisciplinary research in Europe, in order to enhance our capacity to meet contemporary global (urban) challenges characterised by increasing complexity and uncertainty.

INTREPID’s overall aim is to create a space for reflection on the role and opportunities of interdisciplinarity in research programming and funding cycles, addressing the following stages and dimensions​

• definition of political agendas;
• policy statements/priorities;
• research programmes;
• funding calls for projects;
• ex ante evaluation.
