Interdisciplinary research circles are planned starting in 2025. These are intended to promote the innovative potential of interdisciplinary collaboration across the boundaries of STEM on the one hand and the humanities, social sciences and economics on the other hand. Through interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and translation work, these events aim at bringing together scientists and researchers from different disciplines and scientific cultures.
Specific approaches to interdisciplinary exchange
From 2025, the GeDiMINT team will initiate research circles in order to allow insights to different scientific cultures and thereby, continue networking. In addition to getting to know each other personally, the focus will be on gaining an insight into the research and work culture and exchanging ideas on the integration of gender dimensions.
Brown bag lunches and method excursions, e.g. laboratory and archive visits or workshops on text work and survey methods are suitable formats. In the doctoral program “Konfigurationen von Mensch, Maschine und Geschlecht” (KoMMa.G), a systematically structured interdisciplinary method training was developed and tested in an interactive process from 2017 to 2020 (see KoMMa.G reports). This successful approach will be continued here. In addition, workshop discussions with case studies and draft methods will be successively organized to enable collegial feedback.
These formats may result in discussion papers or research outlines (and hopefully, later on research proposals).
GeDiMINT is a BMBF-funded project at TU Braunschweig. It was initiated in cooperation with the Braunschweig Centre for Gender Studies.
