工程导向的跨学科科研与人才支撑OA

Interdisciplinary research has become a core paradigm for addressing complex societal challenges,yet its institutional advancement faces persistent tensions including misaligned evaluation systems and insufficient talent support.Based on a review of domestic and international research progress on interdisciplinary research and talent support,this introduction identifies that interdisciplinary research encompasses multiple types and driving forces.Among these,engineering-oriented interdisciplinary research—which takes engineering demands as its compass and aims at solving real-world engineering problems—holds particular strategic significance in the current context of China's pursuit of scientific and technological self-reliance.The 14 papers in this special issue explore four key dimensions:Interdisciplinary organization and collaborative innovation in major engineering projects,mechanisms and platforms for interdisciplinary knowledge production,innovative models for interdisciplinary talent cultivation,and institutional development of cross-disciplinary fields.Collectively,they reveal that engineering-oriented interdisciplinary research depends structurally on deliberate institutional design and sustained talent support.Orienting toward the direction of"engineering-oriented interdisciplinary research",this introduction further explores future pathways from the perspectives of evaluation system reform,AI-enabled transformation,and institutional and organizational innovation,while identifying key issues that require continued in-depth investigation.
