Complex problems in global development require cooperation among specialists from numerous backgrounds. Consequently, trans-disciplinary research seems to be appreciated due to its exploration of expertise far beyond the the specific boundary of an individual branch. This study seeks to identify negative aspects of the Research Team as an approach to the path of trans-disciplinary research. It was carried out at the National Economics University with 400 participants selected randomly from 20 faculties. Research methods covered questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and documentary analysis in their institutional studies. It was revealed that despite the values of the Research Team from a theoretical perspective, this approach was not well adapted in reality. The relationship between academics and stakeholders was weak and the practical application of societal solutions was not largely implemented.
