Extract
Science is a highly specialized enterprise—one that enables areas of enquiry to be minutely pursued, establishes working paradigms and normative standards, and supports rigor in experimental research. Some issues, however, do not fall neatly into the purview of a single disciplinary field. Here, specialization can hinder conceptualization and limit the generation of potential problem-solving approaches. The Ernst Strüngmann Forum was created to address such topics.
Founded on the tenets of scientific independence and the inquisitive nature of the human mind, the Ernst Strüngmann Forum is dedicated to the continual expansion of knowledge. Its activities promote interdisciplinary communication on high-priority issues encountered in basic science. Through its innovative communication process, the Ernst Strüngmann Forum provides a creative environment within which experts scrutinize high-priority issues from multiple vantage points.
This process begins with the identification of themes. By nature, a theme constitutes a problem area that transcends classic disciplinary boundaries—a topic of high-priority interest that requires concentrated, multidisciplinary perusal. Proposals are received from leading scientists who are active in their field and reviewed by an independent Scientific Advisory Board. Once approved, a steering committee is convened to refine the scientific parameters of the proposal and select participants. Approximately one year later, a central gathering, or Forum, is held to which circa forty experts are invited. Expansive discourse is employed to approach the problem. Often, this necessitates reexamining long-established ideas and relinquishing conventional perspectives, yet when accomplished, new insights begin to emerge. The resultant ideas and newly gained perspectives from the entire process are communicated to the scientific community for further consideration and implementation.
