Interdisciplinarity is an increasingly relevant concept in science and innovation. Interdisciplinary research has the potential to address ‘grand challenges’ that are gaining importance in current times of uncertainty and interdependence. Interdisciplinary research facilitates radical innovation due to its potential to link hitherto unconnected streams of knowledge.

Despite its positive impact, existing studies show that scientists who work in interdisciplinary fields find it harder to get funding, publish their results and pursue their career. It takes longer to get appointed as a professor. Recent research proves that highly ranked journals favor mono-disciplinary work. Consensual criteria to evaluate interdisciplinary research are not yet established.

We are developing an interactive online course for interdisciplinary knowledge transfer. We are building on an empirical derived multidimensional framework of "interdisciplinary competence" for researchers. The course will be developed along different subject areas (career, research process, communication, open science) and for different target groups (e.g. scientists, transfer addressees).
