The Priority Programme addresses a broad spectrum of representatives from various fields in the humanities and law, social and cultural studies, mathematics and natural sciences as well as medical history and technology and invites them to participate in the programme. The key issues are the following:
-- What are the specific institutional structures and cultural features of the German scholarly system (Wissenschaftssystem) compared to the international systems of scholarship?
-- How do these systems interact, and how move actors within these systems?
-- How do research fields, styles of thought or politically determined projects influence social structures and research procedures of scholarly organisations in various disciplines?
-- How do separate and specific disciplinary histories relate to a multidisciplinary approach and transdisciplinary settings of questions?
The twofold triad of fields of research (Scholarship, Politics and Society) and of analytical accesses (Personae, Institution, Discourses) offers a frame of references for two areas of research. In the first place, the genesis and construction of scholarship in a given society with the following topics:
-- the establishment, structural differentiation and steering processes of the scholarly system;
-- the place and self-definition of the various branches of scholarship vis-à-vis state, economy and society;
-- the design of self-images of a society as construction of scholarship;
-- research and development in its political and economic context.
Secondly, the interdependence between scholarship, politics and society with the following topics:
-- national, international and global scholarly systems;
-- scholarship, the public sphere and institutes of higher learning;
-- hierarchical structures and images of regulation.
The various projects should envision a perspective beyond the traditional national, epochal and disciplinary boundaries. Hence, the projects should avoid a narrow mono-disciplinary approach and should address periods of "troubles" with their specific problems of continuities as well as discontinuities.
