The Journal
The Interdisciplinary Journal of Studium Generale (IJSG) is an open-access, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue across the fields of science, technology, and education. Our mission is to publish high-quality, original research that explores the intersections and synergies between these critical domains, promoting innovation, critical thinking, and impactful solutions to contemporary challenges.

IJSG provides a dynamic platform for researchers, academics, practitioners, and students from diverse backgrounds to disseminate their scholarly work. We particularly encourage contributions that:

• Bridge traditional disciplinary boundaries.

• Examine the application of scientific and technological advancements in educational contexts.

• Address pedagogical innovations driven by scientific discovery or technological tools.

• Explore the societal implications of scientific and technological progress within educational frameworks.

• Present theoretical frameworks, empirical studies, case analyses, and comprehensive reviews.

The journal is published twice per year, ensuring a consistent flow of new research. In addition to regular issues, IJSG will periodically release special issues focusing on emerging topics or significant themes within our scope, often linked to major conferences or research initiatives. IJSG also publishes abstract books, or conference proceedings (in special issues; see below for more details), providing a comprehensive record of scholarly activity.

By fostering a collaborative environment for interdisciplinary scholarship, IJSG aims to contribute significantly to the global understanding and advancement of science, technology, and education.
