TIn this work, we recover the history of creation and development of the Institutes of Advanced Studies around the world. After such resumption, the text focus on the Institute of Advanced Transdisciplinary Studies of UFMG which, as indicated by its own name, brings up transdisciplinarity as a main horizon in the context of a university institution, for the attempt of dealing with complexity of life-world societal problems. Thus, we present some initiatives of the Institute related to the association between state of-the-art research and its application in the solution of problems, using transdisciplinary methodologies.

Keywords : Institute of Advanced Studies; Universities; Methodologies; Transdisciplinarity.
