Interdisciplinary Studies Conferences - FAQs

Here’s a comprehensive Interdisciplinary Studies Conferences FAQ and Resource Guide for scholars, researchers, and practitioners working across academic boundaries:

Flagship Events:

  • International Congress of Interdisciplinary Studies
  • Association for Interdisciplinary Studies (AIS) Conference
  • Interdisciplinary Social Sciences Conference

Specialty Cross-Disciplinary Conferences:

  • World Congress of Science & Factual Producers
  • International Conference on Arts & Humanities
  • Global Peace & Ethics Conference

Submission Guidelines:

  1. Check deadlines ( 4-8 months in advance - longer for complex proposals)
  2. Prepare:
  • Extended abstract (500-800 words showing integration of disciplines)
  • Visual abstracts encouraged (for creative methodologies)
  1. Unique formats:
  • "Trading Zones" sessions (AIS)
  • PechaKucha presentations (20 slides x 20 seconds)
  • Research "speed dating"

Pro Tip: Many explicitly seek team presentations showing multiple disciplinary perspectives.

Virtual Options

Typically 40-60% less

Funding Sources:

  • University interdisciplinary program funds
  • NEH/NSF cross-cutting initiative grants
  • AIS Travel Fellowships
  • NGO sponsorships (for policy-relevant work)

Virtual Benefits:
✓ Easier for international collaborators to co-present
✓ Lower carbon footprint (important for climate researchers)
✓ Accessibility features (auto-captions etc.)

In-Person Advantages:
✓ "Hallway epiphanies" - spontaneous cross-pollination
✓ Hands-on methods workshops (e.g., digital humanities tools)
✓ Exhibition of interdisciplinary art-science projects

Hybrid Note: Most now offer "present in-person, attend virtually" options.

Interdisciplinary Essentials:

  • Printed "conceptual maps" of your methodology
  • Business cards listing multiple disciplines
  • Multi-format presentation backups (USB + cloud)
  • Notebook for transdisciplinary insights
  • Discipline-specific dictionaries (jargon varies)

Pro Strategies:

  1. Attend "methodology speed rounds" (AIS)
  2. Join "unconference" sessions (participant-driven)
  3. Use visual networking tools (Miro boards etc.)

Most Innovative:

  • Experimental Humanities Conference (Bard College)
  • * THATCamp (The Humanities And Technology)
  • International Conference on Design Principles & Practices

Emerging Nexus Areas:

  • Bioethics of AI-assisted reproduction
  • Digital archaeology & VR heritage
  • Pandemic narrative studies (literature/epidemiology)
  • Ecological economics modeling
  • Neuroscience of artistic creativity
