Mountain regions face important environmental and socioeconomic challenges. They are strongly affected by global warming, and their main economic sectors (agriculture, energy production, and tourism) strive to adapt to this and other global changes. Moreover, in a context of economic globalization, the constraints inherent to mountain regions (slope, isolation, and marginalization) make them uncompetitive in comparison with lowland or coastal regions. To address these issues in an inter- and transdisciplinary manner, and from a perspective of transformation research, the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, has created the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mountain Research, which this article presents.

山区研究跨学科中心 (CIRM)：促进山区转型研究的跨学科性

山区面临着重要的环境和社会经济挑战。他们受到全球变暖的强烈影响，他们的主要经济部门（农业、能源生产和旅游业）努力适应这种和其他全球变化。而且，在经济全球化的背景下，山区固有的制约因素（斜坡、孤立和边缘化）使其与低地或沿海地区相比缺乏竞争力。为了以跨学科和跨学科的方式并从转型研究的角度解决这些问题，瑞士洛桑大学创建了山地研究跨学科中心，本文将对此进行介绍。
