Innovation, Transdisciplinarity and Entrepreneurship
Health and Aging
Assuming that the problems posed by health and aging are complex, require capacity to deal with uncertainty and change, and from a scientific and practical point of view, they cross disciplinary boundaries, transdisciplinary skills are required which, based on collaboration and creativity, redefine and reframe them and design meaningful solutions.
Transdisciplinary competencies require:
integrating problem framing and problem solving,
communication and collaboration between people of different disciplines and educational levels, and
intelligent use of technologies and resources
By combining these competencies, it is intended to support the construction of collective knowledge and increase the capacity to solve human problems.
