"Philosophy of interdisciplinarity: What is interdisciplinary success?" is a two-day Nordic workshop. Several of the participants have been engaged in what we call philosophy of interdisciplinarity for a long time, and this workshop is the continuation of the international workshop "Philosophy of interdisciplinarity: metaphysical and epistemological aspects" (Lund 2010). Three of the speakers are selected from an open call for papers. The workshop is funded by Hultengrens fond för filosofi and related to the interdisciplinarity theme in the Linnaeus grant programme LUCID.
