Scientific knowledge is no longer constructed in isolation, but rather through conceptual frameworks where different fields of knowledge converge. Contemporary research demands integrative approaches that enable the addressing of complex problems through the articulation of diverse theories, methods, and perspectives. This academic space aims to highlight contributions that strengthen the construction of knowledge through interdisciplinarity, promoting dialogue among the social sciences, education, engineering, health, administration, the environment, and technology, with the goal of generating solutions and insights relevant to today’s society.
