Interdisciplinary research consortia (IDC) played a key role in each of these examples. Ghent University already had four and is now creating six new ones. With the IDC, Ghent University wants to encourage interdisciplinary research , but also - and this is at least equally important - promote the societal value creation of that research. The IDC thus work in complementarity with the IOF consortia , which are mainly focused on economic knowledge transfer (patents, spin-offs, services to companies and industry, etc. Stakeholders.
