Collaboration between (people from) various disciplines, where the knowledge and expertise from the separate fields is integrated in a product typical for one of the disciplines, rather than merging all into a hybrid trajectory. The multidisciplinary mode of production is rather hierarchical. An example of a multidisciplinary trajectory is an artist in residence project where technological knowledge serves an artistic concept. See also: interdisciplinarity

Multidisciplinarity is a non-integrative mixture of disciplines in that each discipline retains its methodologies and assumptions without change or development from other disciplines within the multidisciplinary relationship.
