Workshop Interdisciplinary Research and Academic Careers - Opportunities and Pitfalls

Interdisciplinary research tends to be increasingly important for funding applications and other purposes. In career terms, however, keeping one’s own disciplinary research focus and profile firmly in sight is also essential. The impulses of this half-day workshop will help you deepen your understanding of the forms and functions of interdisciplinary research and their relationship to academic career development. After the workshop, you will have fresh ideas for exploring and seizing opportunities, as well as dealing with challenges and risks associated with an interdisciplinary orientation.

Topics covered include:

• Interdisciplinary communication and collaboration: forms and functions
• Interdisciplinary aspects in a researcher’s or scientist’s own work
• Academic careers in Germany: relevant structures and conditions
• Interdisciplinary research: suitable contexts and institutions
• Aiming for permanent positions
