INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP
Workshop, Sept 18 – 21, 2010
Philosophy of / as Interdisciplinarity Network (PIN-net)
Since the early 1970s, “interdisciplinarity" has become a popular label ascribed to innumerable research programs. Interdisciplinarity, however, poses many conceptual and practical problems.

The workshop is organized around an open discussion format, but in order to orient our discussion, we expect every participant to give what we are calling an "academic introduction" – a brief description of who you are, your research interests, and your ‘take’ on the following questions (max 15 min, with 10 min for subsequent discussion):
