Challenges and Opportunities of Implementing Transdisciplinarity into the Academic Systems of Armenia and Georgia
Abstract
This study discusses the opportunities and challenges of implementing Transdisciplinarity (TD) in the academic systems of Armenia and Georgia. Transdisciplinarity is a new approach for the South Caucasus academic system. While applied research and fieldwork in the rural areas are constitute part of university practices, cooperation among various university departments, as well as cooperation with the local stakeholders throughout the teaching or research projects is a new approach. Tourism has been chosen taking into consideration its integrative nature. This includes universities and researchers, different stakeholders, local population etc. Tourism could be a good example of integration of different academic disciplines with non-academic practice and experience in order to solve real-life problems and provide sustainable development.
