by nebulous cause-and-effect relationships between existing and emergent knowledge. Seen from this perspective, sense-making can be supported partly by defining units of analysis that facilitate the collection of individual observaation and,

We discuss how this mission was incorporated into a Fraunhofer corporate programme that takes on global challenges by stimulating collaborative research projects across knowledge domains.
To the best knowledge of the present authors, the State of the Future report is the most comprehensive
At the same time, cooperation between various knowledge domains within 60 Fraunhofer institutes is needed to address complex interdisciplinary system approaches in R&d.
Institutes of similar scientific and technological scope form a total of six groups representing Fraunhofer knowledge domains (information and communications technologies, life sciences, materials, light and surfaces, microelectronics, and production.
because within the Fraunhofer Society with its 60 institutes, there is a broad portfolio with a huge variety of scientific disciplines, applications and knowledge in general available.
budgets were provided only for projects spanning the knowledge domains. This approach left the scientists enough freedom to find their own solutions.
and develop research topics across the Fraunhofer knowledge domains represented by the institutes and groups of institutes.
Bring together different knowledge domains: the projects that should be funded are supposed not to be driven technology, but should bring together different disciplines
