Inter- and transdisciplinary projects in FP7 and H2020 (May 2019)

The metadata of interdisciplinary (IDR) and transdisciplinary (TDR) projects conducted under the European Union framework programs (FP7 & Horizon 2020) were collected from the Cordis database (https://cordis.europa.eu/). SHAPE-ID research team used periodic data dumps, stored in EU open data portal (https://data.europa.eu/euodp/en/data/dataset/cordisfp7projects and https://data.europa.eu/euodp/en/data/dataset/cordisH2020projects).  The data dump from May 2019 was used, so the FP7 database is complete while H2020 projects were still being added periodically. CORDIS files were subsequently queried for interdisciplinar or transdicsiplinar, matched against title or abstract (“objective”). This procedure allowed for creating two subsets: FP7_projects_May2019_IDR_TDR.csv 1750 FP7 projects. Out of 1699 IDR projects, interdisciplinar featured in 40 titles and 1679 abstracts. Out of 56 TDR projects transdisciplinar featured  in 2 project titles and 54 abstracts. 1912 H2020 projects (as of May 2019). Out of 1837 IDR projects, interdisciplinar featured in 57 titles and 1820 abstracts. Out of 85 TDR projects transdisciplinar featured  in 2 project titles and 85 abstracts. Description of the files  CSV files contain the same fields as CORDIS database data dumps: id, acronym, status, programme, topics, framework Programme, title, startDate, endDate, projectUrl, objective, totalCost, ecMaxContribution, call, fundingScheme, coordinator, coordinatorCountry, participants, participantCountries, subjects. Additional fields: IDR - project features interdiciplinary research (1 = yes, 0 = no) TDR -  project features transdiciplinary research (1 = yes, 0 = no) Title_Interdisciplinar - frequency of  “interdisciplinar” in the project title Objective_interdisciplinar- frequency of “interdisciplinar” in the project objective Title_transdisciplinar - frequency of  “interdisciplinar” in the project title Obj_transdisiplinar - frequency of “interdisciplinar” in the project objective Reference data (countries, funding schemes/types of action, subjects (SIC codes)) can be found in this dataset: https://data.europa.eu/euodp/en/data/dataset/cordisref-data
