Pluridisciplinare is synonymous with multidisciplinare but with a different Latin prefix: pluri- (many) vs multi- (many). Both are used in Italian academic and institutional contexts, but pluridisciplinare is preferred in EU-funded research documentation and Italian university regulations. It is invariable for gender (un approccio pluridisciplinare / un'équipe pluridisciplinare).
