Interdisciplinary collaboration at the Center for Holistic Integration (CHI) rests on a simple idea: integration requires both people and space. CHI creates shared environments—physical, virtual, and conceptual—where collaboration is always voluntary and grounded in authentic disciplinary practice

We do not claim that every discipline participates in every project; we design our system so that any discipline can participate. Engagement is invitational, not obligatory, allowing individuals, departments, and partners to join when their work aligns with CHI’s meta-projects.

CHI’s meta-projects welcome contributions from many fields without forcing them into predefined categories. A mathematician, designer, engineer, artist, business strategist, or AI collaborator can all enter the same framework on their own terms.

Because CHI’s framework is not bounded by departmental structures, disciplinary limits, or traditional hierarchies, its activities are free to extend across programs, colleges, global institutions, and international partners. Contributors worldwide can participate without shared curriculum or bureaucracy. This openness deepens cultural, methodological, and conceptual diversity.

CHI runs on its Fellows: faculty, students, researchers, and professionals  who engage, lead and mentor.  Our Fellows embody these principles. Their work spans disciplines and boundaries, each choosing how to contribute to our ecosystem: one built for openness, continuity, and meaningful integration.
