Abstract

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) launched the funding program “Balance of flexibility and stability in a changing work environment” to examine successful ways of balancing flexibility and stability to foster innovation. More than 150 interdisciplinary projects are nationwide conducted by academic and corporate institutions. They answer the question, how chances and challenges in a modern work environment can be used to enable innovation by successfully balancing aspects of stability and flexibility. To support these researchers IT-based interactive research tools are used. A social research network site allows the researchers to connect and cooperate. These network sites are state of the art in international research projects and overcome institutional, disciplinary, and geographic boundaries. Thus, social software not only enables researchers to find new project partners or manage their network but it also leads to a topic related legacy of the program due to the fact that a web-based platform allows future users to inform about the status quo.
