Forum

The “Center for Interdisciplinary Studies“, founded in 1996, provides the Muthesius Academy with a “forum”, which is unique at institutions of higher education. Due to its wide-ranging programme of lectures, interdisciplinary symposiums, workshops or podium discussions, there is regular opportunity to examine the positions taken in relation to the latest research of the interdisciplinary scientific community and in this ways produce a dynamic in research and teaching. Equally fundamental for this dynamic is a desired interplay between theory and practice. This is intended as a theory of practice and a practice of theory in the sense of a corrective function of the one field for the other. This allows changes in professional and practical fields to be taken into account.


In addition to the changing lectures adapted to correspond with the requirements of the different fields of study, there are two general events which concentrate on specific themes and take place over a longer period of time.
