La Universidad de Buenos Aires y la interdisciplina

The document analyzes the trajectory of interdisciplinarity at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) since 1983. It highlights the role of the Centro de Estudios Avanzados (cea), the shift toward neoliberal alliances in the 1990s, and the subsequent institutionalization of interdisciplinary programs. It further connects these developments to national scientific and technological policies under the presidencies of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, which aimed for social relevance and innovation, as well as the influence of international research agency calls.

• Interdisciplinary initiatives at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) evolved through several stages: starting with the Centro de Estudios Avanzados (cea), moving toward neoliberal-driven alliances with private and government sectors in the 1990s, and later transitioning into formal 'Programas Intersdisciplinarios' and specific research programming within the university's Secretaría de Ciencia y Técnica after the cea ceased operations in 2003.
• Between 2003 and 2015, under the presidencies of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, interdisciplinary research became central to a national political agenda focused on social inclusion, innovation, and the production of socially applicable knowledge. A key institutional milestone of this era was the establishment of the Centro Interdisciplinario de Estudios de la Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (ciecti) within the national Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation (mincyt).
• The consolidation of interdisciplinary research in Argentina was significantly aided by the increased participation of Argentine scientists in calls from international scientific research agencies.
