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.

该项目将检查Wissenschaftskolleg Zu柏林（Wiko）。 Wiko是世界上最著名的高级研究机构之一（IAS），旨在为选定的顶级科学家提供机会，使自己的思维超出日常大学生活的纪律处分。研究员应摆脱所有剥削利益和成功限制，甚至被允许失败。从一开始，科尔格就打算破坏纪律界限，科学与艺术之间的差异以及国家研究传统，并邀请来自所有学科，艺术家和前乐队，非洲，非洲，亚洲和南美的学者。自1978年以来，Wiko的创立历史将在1970年代后期和1980年代（大众大学，精英思维的批评，卓越论述的开始）中进行重建，并将更确切地确定该学院在西德和国际科学领域中的地位。在主要部分，根据文件，回忆录，访谈和研究员的工作报告，将检查Wiko的科学实践是什么样的。 Wiko似乎是科学界的枢纽：住宿是故意设计为与大学惯例的突破，因此旨在改变它们。在纵向部分中，自1980年代以来，科学家的习惯和自我形象的转变变得显而易见。 Wiko也可以解释为科学体系中危机的症状，由于官僚机构，专业化，拥挤，人满为患，以及在Wiko建立时已经出现的，由于官僚化，专业化，人满为患以及全球科学竞争的越来越多。因此，该IAS在科学史上提供了理想的案例研究，以便能够详细研究战后德国科学的多方面和复杂的科学结构变化，集中在一个偏心地定位的机构上。
