Interdisciplinary Exploration of Major Issues in Human Development

Human development is facing a series of global problems, such as aging and health, climate change and ecological environment, which have a high degree of integration, complexity and comprehensiveness. Contemporary scientific research has stepped into a new period when disciplines intersect and merge. Interdisciplinary has become an important research paradigm which bases on major issues. And these problems are deeply explored and fundamentally solved with the help of the theories, perspectives and methods of different disciplines. An increasing number of international research teams are seeking interdisciplinary cooperation by setting up platforms. Their cooperation starts with major issues and relies on major projects, uses innovation as the mode of knowledge production, and pursues harmonious development between human and nature through global governance. Due to the structural system barriers and disciplinary barriers, interdisciplinary research remains at the preliminary stage, which requires cooperation and integration between science and technology and humanities to promote human well-being.
