Association for Interdisciplinary Studies (AIS)

AIS is a US based association, founded in. Their scope and views on interdisciplinarity is based on the American liberal arts tradition, which influences the way interdisciplinary studies and education is perceived. However, the association is becoming increasingly international and in 2016, the annual conference was for the first time held outside the US. In 2019 the conference will be hosted by the University of Amsterdam.

The AIS newsletter (Integrative Pathways) and journal (Issues in interdisciplinary studies), in addition to their resource and materials database are good venues for an updated overview of debates on interdisciplinary studies.
