The Käte Hamburger Kolleg: Cultures of Research (c:o/re) is an international Center for Advanced Study in philosophy, sociology and history of science and technology at RWTH Aachen University. It explores the changing research cultures of science and technology and develops a methodological approach to strengthen the integration of the various disciplines in science and technology studies. This takes place in a close exchange between the humanities and social sciences and the life, natural, technical and engineering sciences.
