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.

该项目将研究Wisenschaftskolleg zu柏林(Wiko)。Wiko是世界上最著名的高等研究院(IAS)之一，旨在为精选的顶尖科学家提供机会，让他们超越日常大学生活的学科分割，为自己的思考提供新的方向。研究员应该不受一切剥削、利益和成功的限制，甚至应该被允许失败。从一开始，科列格就打算通过邀请来自所有学科的学者、艺术家和来自前东方集团、非洲、亚洲和南美洲的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。在20世纪70年代末和80年代的特定科学形势(大众大学、精英思维批判、卓越话语的开始)下，维科学院自1978年以来的创建史将被重建，学院在西德和国际科学版图中的地位将得到更准确的确定。在主要部分，将根据档案、回忆录、访谈和研究员的工作报告，审查Wiko的科学实践过去和现在是什么样子。Wiko似乎是科学界的中心：这一停留是故意设计的，目的是打破大学的常规，并因此改变它们。在纵向上，20世纪80年代以来科学家的习惯和自我形象的转变变得明显。Wiko也可以被解读为科学体系危机的症状，由于官僚化、专业化、过度拥挤以及在Wiko成立时已经出现的全球科学竞争加剧，科学体系受到了越来越多的批评。因此，这本IAS提供了科学史上的一个理想的案例研究，以便能够详细地审视战后德国科学的多方面和复杂的结构变化，集中在一个偏心的机构上。
