SCIENTIFIC IMPACT
Interdisciplinary cooperation to advance narrative studies
To create scientific impact, we work closely together with colleagues from different disciplinary backgrounds, like philosophy, literary studies, arts, sociology, communication science, nursing, medical science, and computer science. We believe that interdisciplinary research is necessary to address the complex contextual and multilayered character of storytelling.
To advance interdisciplinary work, we participate in several network activities. Our PhD students work in interdisciplinary teams to become the interdisciplinary researchers of the future. We publish in good and appropriate journals, books, and conference proceedings to reach out to different scientific audiences with different publication cultures.
