Motivation and aims
The DIAS cluster programme strengthens DIAS’s possibilities to develop cutting-edge research at the highest international level and attract high-level researchers and new external funding. It promotes interdisciplinary research and cross-fertilization of ideas, and thereby encourages the creation of new research enterprises involving SDU researchers from all interested departments of SDU and external partners.
The clusters seek to foster and channel inter-disciplinary research initiatives by focusing on certain themes that are relevant for more than one faculty. These can be broad themes such as the historical dimension (of a problem, a scientific practice etc.), the social dimension (of a problem, a scientific practice etc.), science narratives, citizen science, visualizing science, interdisciplinary theory, but also more specific ones will be considered.
