Abstract

Under the background of the coexistence of highly differentiated science and highly integrated knowledge, education and scientific research have shifted from "vertical" exploration to "horizontal" expansion and integration, and discipline integration has gradually become a new research paradigm. In colleges and universities, teachers with single-discipline knowledge can no longer meet the demand for scientific knowledge innovation, and the multiple obstacles caused by the limited improvement of academic effectiveness, the dependence on disciplinary identity adaptation, and the lagging support of service connection have made the promotion of interdisciplinary scientific research cooperation among college and university teachers particularly urgent. In order to break down the barriers between the departments of interdisciplinary scientific research cooperation, we should make efforts to clarify the responsibility, maintain the cooperation network, and build a solid organisational guarantee, so as to promote the benign development of interdisciplinary scientific research cooperation.
