Abstract Excessive radiation exposure has adverse effects on health. In Fukushima, psychological issues such as anxiety are still affecting people nine years after the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in 2011. In light of the lessons learned from Fukushima communities, a joint Japanese and Mongolian research team introduced a community program to the Zuunbayan district in Mongolia, which is located near a uranium deposit, to promote good health by strengthening radiation emergency preparedness. The program, which commenced in 2017, aimed to increase community participation, education, information dissemination, and capacity of community preparedness. After two years a monitoring study showed that, out of 227 respondents, the proportions who thought that any level of radiation was dangerous decreased from 53.3% in 2017 to 33.9% in 2019. Moreover, half of the respondents knew that there were safe and unsafe radiation levels and that their community was safe. This global collaboration demonstrated that a lesson learned from a disaster can be applied to other countries and changed people’s recognition and behavior toward good health and disaster/emergency preparedness.

This paper takes the Núcleo of Ingeniería Biomédica (NIB) from the Universidad de la República (Uruguay) as an example of how interdisciplinarity and global collaboration can be achieved in Higher Education teaching activities with a focus on Biomedical Engineering and Medical Informatics. We have recorded and analyzed using a qualitative strategy its practices in different teaching formats to interpret the best pedagogical strategies in the combination of interdisciplinarity and distant collaboration when using new technologies of communication.   KEYWORDS: Biomedical Engineering; Interdisciplinarity; University; Uruguay.
