InterSpaces is the podcast of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZiF) at Bielefeld University and is funding interdisciplinary research in groups. This diversity of perspectives is meant to be audible in the podcast, which is why most episodes will feature several researchers from different disciplines talking about their joint research topics. 

Episode #17: Using New Methods to Support Interdisciplinary Collaboration

with Tina Heger, Nora Pfützenreuter and Oliver Szasz

16.07.2025 51 min

One subject we always think about at ZiF is how to support our fellows and their work in the best ways possible since they have to combine all their different disciplinary backgrounds, methods and research cultures in a few months of working together. To come to terms with these differences often takes up quite some of the joint research time. How is it possible to avoid more of the frictional losses and the possible dissatisfaction with interdisciplinary work? What kind of maybe more unusual – meaning within the scientific community – methods could be integrated into the framework of the research group to help them make their work as efficient as possible?  

For the resident research group “Mapping Evidence to Theory in Ecology: Addressing the Challenges of Generalization and Causality” a special kind of group work process came into being and in this episode research group convenor Tina Heger and the coaches Nora Pfützenreuter and Oliver Szasz talk about this unique experience.
