Abstract

Collaborating across disciplines can advance research fields by offering new ways of addressing complex problems and fostering integration and acknowledging similarities among different fields. Pairing preferences, such as teaching the same or different content areas, grade spans, or buildings, are also crucial in mentorship programs, as they can significantly impact the effectiveness of the partnership. This necessary academic pairing can be difficult to a set of factors, as cultural, geographical or personal. This study addresses the challenge of academic pairings, emphasizing the need to publicize university resources and projects to promote interconnection between professionals from different areas within the same academic environment. The research describes the ”Unified Recommendation System” - a recommendation system for academic communities. This is a hybrid recommendation system and was developed to recommend relevant projects of interest to the user, in addition to being easy to access through an application for students, teachers and the general community. Thus, the developed prototype demonstrated significant potential as a relevant tool in the context of smart campuses, with user interest recommendation rates of more than 81% in the evaluated scenario.
