The article substantiates and describes the foundations of the interdisciplinary approach, which has become the defining direction in many branches of modern science. The importance of interdisciplinarity is noted as a principle that ensures a comprehensive analysis of the problem and guarantees the possibility of taking into account the maximum number of its components. Particular attention is paid to reflecting interdisciplinarity in modern state documents of the Russian Federation, in state strategies for the develop-ment of science and technology. It has been revealed that in the context of globalization of the socio-economic space, interdisciplinarity becomes multidisciplinarity, connecting the results of disciplinary research and allowing scientists to expand the range of their re-search and find new characteristics of the subject areas under study. A conclusion is made about the promise and importance of multidisciplinary research conducted in various branches of modern Russian science, and therefore the problem of the spontaneous na-ture of this research is raised and the need for further understanding of the essence and methods of multidisciplinary scientific research is revealed.
