It proposes a space for academic reflection where different approaches, disciplines and knowledge converge to interpret the complex phenomena of today's world. This volume brings together research that breaks with the traditional structures of knowledge, betting on integrative analyses and perspectives that cross epistemological boundaries. The articles presented examine social, technological, environmental, educational and health issues from innovative approaches that combine diverse methods, languages and foundations. The proposals that demonstrate how multidisciplinarity enriches the understanding of the environment and favors more contextualized, collaborative and sustainable solutions are especially valued. This issue reaffirms the importance of thinking science as a network of knowledge in constant dialogue, capable of adapting and responding to global challenges with creativity, rigor and commitment.
