In an increasingly complex but high-potential landscape, the development of interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity has been identified as a key success factor for the positioning of Aix-Marseille Université by 2030. The A*Midex foundation is cultivating this exploratory ambition through a number of precursory measures and new synergies, with a view to strengthening the University's sense of belonging.
INSTITUTIONS TO DRIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY DYNAMICS
From 2019 to 2022, 20 institutes have been created animated and financed by A*Midex. Building on existing Masters programs and doctoral schools, the institutes aim to develop a culture of interdisciplinary training, both through and for research, by involving socio-economic partners in the training offer developed by the institute.
Since 2019, Aix-Marseille Université and its partners have been committed to the creation of interdisciplinary Instituts d'établissement in addition to the labeling of two Convergences Institutes 2017 - 2025 (CenTuri, ILCB) and two Écoles Universitaires de Recherche 2018-2027 (nEURo*AMU, AMSE).
These new Institutes, led and funded by A*Midex, bring together research teams from one or more research units and Master's and Doctorate-level training courses from one or more components.
This dynamic creates a strong link around a shared theme, linking training and research.

Interdisciplinarity call for projects to encourage innovative interdisciplinary approaches
L'call for "Interdisciplinarity" projectscall for projects, launched in 2021 and financed and coordinated by A*Midex, supports Aix-Marseille's Instituts d'établissement in their efforts to structure and lead interdisciplinary communities.
The common objectives of the winning projects are to:
- Implement an interdisciplinary research project that responds to major scientific and societal challenges
- Bring scientific audacity and the resolution of new questions through interdisciplinarity
- Be part of the overall interdisciplinary strategy for the Aix-Marseille site.
The Equipment program to support research projects on the Aix-Marseille site
Visit Equipment" program program enables research units, components and institutes on the Aix-Marseille site to carry out their research and training projects using complex, state-of-the-art equipment. It complements national programs (Équipements Structurants pour la Recherche (ESR) and EquipEx+ 2021) and the Contrat de Plan Etat-Région (CPER) for the period 2021-2027.
The main aim of the call is to support research units on the Aix-Marseille site wishing to acquire new structuring equipment designed to develop and strengthen their capacity to implement their research programs.
Scientific mediation to disseminate, share and animate a community of knowledge
The A*Midex Foundation contributes to the enhancement of projects through dissemination and appropriation actions aimed at the Aix-Marseille scientific community and the general public.
The A*Midex "Experimenting with the future" audiovisual collection
The aim of these films is to raise awareness of the research and training projects supported by the A*Midex foundation, and to highlight their transformative effect and interdisciplinary quality. They give a voice to project leaders to promote the content and progress of their work to the scientific community and the general public.

The A*Midex collection on HAL
An A*Midex collection on HAL hosts publications from research and training projects supported by A*Midex. The aim is to disseminate these works as widely as possible, increase their visibility, promote the decompartmentalization of knowledge and encourage new collaborations.
France 2030 projects in line with the objectives of the field of action
Since 2020, the A*Midex Foundation has been entrusted with a cross-functional mission to lead and coordinate the France 2030 Investment Plan. The following are examples of projects taking part in the approach initiated by the A*Midex Foundation to enhance the appropriation and pooling of interdisciplinary approaches:
Major Research Universities
- TIGER: Transforming and innovating graduate training through research
- IDeAL: Integration and Development at Aix-Marseille through Learning
University Research Schools
- Neuro*AMu : Neuroscience at Aix-Marseille University
- AMSE: Aix-Marseille School of Economics
Convergences Institutes
- CenTuri: Turing Center for Living Systems
- ILCB: Language, Communication and Brain Institute
Etc.
