The project will examine the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (Wiko). The Wiko is one of the world's most renowned Institutes for Advanced Study (IAS) and is intended to offer selected top scientists the opportunity to give their own thinking a new direction beyond the disciplinary segmentation of everyday university life. The fellows should be free from all exploitation interests and success constraints and even be allowed to fail. From the beginning, the Kolleg was intended to undermine disciplinary boundaries, the difference between science and art, and national research traditions by inviting scholars from all disciplines, artists, and fellows from the former Eastern Bloc, Africa, Asia, and South America. The founding history of the Wiko since 1978 in the specific scientific situation of the late 1970s and 1980s (mass university, critique of elite thinking, beginning of the discourse on excellence) will be reconstructed and the position of the college in the West German and international scientific landscape will be determined more precisely. In the main part, on the basis of files, memoirs, interviews and the work reports of the fellows, it will be examined what scientific practice at the Wiko was and is like. The Wiko appears as a hub of the scientific community: the stay is deliberately designed as a break with university routines and is intended to change them as a result. In longitudinal section, a transformation of the habitus and self-image of scientists since the 1980s becomes apparent. The Wiko can also be interpreted as a symptom of a crisis in the science system, which has come under increasing criticism due to bureaucratization, specialization, overcrowding, and the intensified global competition in science that was already emerging when the Wiko was founded. Therefore, this IAS offers an ideal case study in the history of science in order to be able to examine in detail the multifaceted and complex structural change of science in post-war Germany concentrated on an eccentrically positioned institution.

该项目将审查Wissenschaftskolleg zu柏林（Wiko）。Wiko是世界上最著名的高等研究所（IAS）之一，旨在为选定的顶尖科学家提供机会，让他们自己的思维超越日常大学生活的学科分割。研究员应不受任何剥削利益和成功限制，甚至允许失败。从一开始，Kolleg就打算通过邀请来自前东欧集团、非洲、亚洲和南美洲的所有学科的学者、艺术家和研究员来破坏学科界限、科学和艺术之间的差异以及国家研究传统。自1978年以来，在20世纪70年代末和80年代的特定科学情况下（大众大学，精英思想的批判，关于卓越的话语的开始），Wiko的创始历史将被重建，学院在西德和国际科学景观中的地位将被更精确地确定。在主要部分，文件的基础上，回忆录，采访和研究员的工作报告，它将检查什么样的科学实践在维基是和是喜欢。Wiko似乎是科学界的一个中心：住宿是故意设计为打破大学的常规，并打算改变他们的结果。从纵向来看，自20世纪80年代以来，科学家的习惯和自我形象发生了明显的变化。Wiko也可以被解释为科学体系危机的征兆，由于官僚化、专业化、过度拥挤以及Wiko成立时已经出现的全球科学竞争加剧，科学体系受到越来越多的批评。因此，本IAS提供了一个理想的案例研究在科学史上，以便能够详细检查在战后德国集中在一个古怪的定位机构的科学的多方面和复杂的结构变化。
