Abstract
Postgraduate programmes in ecosystems management, conservation biology, or sustainable development attempt to understand environmental issues from an interdisciplinary approach. We list the main problems and solutions dealing with the evaluation of interdisciplinary work. The evaluation processes are attached to more funding and higher salaries; therefore evaluation is an important issue. Our diagnosis showed that teachers and researchers are suffering an "over–evaluation", using identical indicators coming from disciplinary areas and designed in developed countries. To prepare a national proposal, we brought together most coordinators of postgraduate programmes for the development of interdisciplinary products and actions so these may be properly evaluated.
