Interdisciplinary work is hard: scientists from other disciplines have different problems, use different terminology, pursue different pathways to a solution and have different criteria for what makes a good solution. In order to get a better understanding of how scientists from other disciplines think and work, this workshop series dives briefly into each of 4 disciplines. In separate 2-hour-workshops, senior researchers from sociology, philosophy, law and computer science present origin, methods, quality criteria and typical problems along with canonical approaches in their fields.
