To the extent that academia isn’t the utopian dream of free knowledge, but an institution with structures that ensure the sustainability and feasibility of its activities, interdisciplinary efforts will not be as fruitful if they are approached as chimerical feats that should be achieved/achievable without the structure that sustains the production of academic knowledge. Even today, with all the change that we have experienced, collaborations still fall through due to lack of institutional support. We need formalities, funds, guidelines, metrics, and people willing to kickstart these where there is none, so that, in the coming future, the next generations of scholars will have something to stand on.
