Abstract
Rapid globalization and digitalization make human society more complicated and intertwined. More and more problems require interdisciplinary collaboration; however, researchers face challenges in performing such studies due to inadequate institutional guidelines. This chapter presents a framework for effective interdisciplinary collaboration. Based on a literature review and critical reflections on a case at a transnational university in China, this chapter discusses the challenges and difficulties encountered in conducting interdisciplinary research. Then, it provides a practical toolkit to support researchers, educators, and policymakers in overcoming those obstacles. The proposed framework encompasses strategies of university and school-level policies that aim to develop cross-discipline communication channels. By adopting this framework, stakeholders in education can foster more effective interdisciplinary collaborations and advance educational research toward a more sustainable future.
